You're the One
my heart needs
You love me, you say
you love me

And You just want,
me to be
free in You,
believe in You

But, Oh Lord, I fall sometimes
Hit the wall sometimes
I just fall away
You know Lord, that I stall sometimes
that I crawl sometimes -
I just lose my way

"Then," You say
with such love and grace
"Take my hand, I'll help you stand.
When it's dark - and when you're lost,
I will guide you, I'm right beside you."

I cry out
Hands in the air
I cry out
Hands in the air

So here I stand
a broken man
But I feel your truth
I'm redeemed in you

Your spirit Lord
is the Oil I need
Your blood, Oh Lord
is the wine I seek

Holy Lord, You won't let me fall
You break through my walls
Praise Your mighty name!
Holy Lord, Your love's answered the call
of my heart's enthrall,
Glory be Your name!

Steve,

W e l c o m e   B a c k ! ! !


I'm mostly happy to see that you've returned to Passions and, also, I'm most thrilled to see that you've come bearing gifts. Big Smiles. I loved the progression of your poem from "you love me, you say you love me" to His breaking through the walls and your giving Glory! to His name...

What a Beautiful progression. What a Beautiful poem.

Again, really nice to see you back posting again and God bless you.

-Bob

Thank you Bob, for the warm words and welcome back. It's been 7 years, and I've missed this place very much
