I cannot love without you,
My flesh is too weak.
I am incapable of reacting differently,
when wounded without you.
I want so badly to love, without needing anything in return.
This is completely impossible without you.
I get angry and bitter.
I know the only way to rid myself of the pain
is to come sobbing at your feet.
Loneliness entangles me and tells me I am unworthy.
You fill me up as no one else ever will.
I am safe in your arms.
I am never outside of your vision.
I am always within your grasp,
When I am about to fall,
you reach your holy arms out and catch me.
Sometimes you allow me to fall,
reminding me I am weak without my, I AM!
Even in my falling I am not outside of your protection.
You know exactly how far and how hard I can fall.
You know when it’s time to make your presence known.
I am learning how deep, how long and how forever your love is.
I cannot, am not and will not ever be anything when I am not hanging on to you!
I look unto the mountains and yet it is not only mountains I see, I see you the Creator.
I do not walk the dangerous path of life without knowing it is you who keeps my feet from stumbling.
I cling to the knowledge that you are my protector who does not slumber.
You are my protector always on guard while the sun is up and when the moon takes its place.
Your blood covers me and allows God to welcome me as redeemed.
It is you Jesus who allows me to walk, love and see others as better than myself.
It is you Jesus, only you!
