A poem in honor of God’s faithfulness this Lenten season.
I Know you will
The shadow cast upon this night
Makes it hard to see the light.
Wondering, aching, hoping, waiting
The questions keep on coming:
Will you still love me even when I stumble and I fall?
Will you still love me even when I ignore your call?
Will you still love me even when I follow the crowd?
Will you still love me even when I cry so loud?
Will you still love me even when I make the wrong choice?
Will you still love me even when I can’t seem to find my voice?
Will you still love me even when I am ignored and alone?
Will you still love me even when I stray far from home?
Yes you will.
I know you will.
It’s in your will.
You will love me when I come running,
You will love me when I am crying,
You will love me even when I feel like I’m dying.
You love me still, I know you will, I know you do.
That’s what makes you YOU.
So turn me back
To the place where we met
Where I wept and I wept
Confronted with what I lack.
Turn my heart back to you
Make me long to do what you call me to
And thank you, thank you
That I always know that up above
Or deep within, I have Your love.
The Will to Wake Up
