My heart cries out in love to You my God my family
The One Who truly knows me best and holds my destiny
Who only always seeks my good in all You say and do
In hope that I will give my will to be the more like You
For each and every day I rise from slumber You are there
Just waiting to commune with me through moments spent in prayer
That come and go most readily throughout my passing day
Assuring me You're always there to lead me in the Way
The Way that holds the answers to the questions I may ask
And even holds the wisdom and the strength for every task
That challenges my simple brain with great complexity
Which to Your mind is just a wisp of slight simplicity
And when I taste the morsels of the goodness of Your Word
Responding to Your Spirit from the things that there are heard
My soul is sweet with wonder at the beauty that I see
Entwined like vines with flowers in Your Word of mystery
That open with a fragrance and a beauty all their own
When chosen to be studied in their context all alone
Cross referenced with the other blossoms in their harmony
To see the greater Truth they hold in perfect purity
And like that vine with tendrils when they fully intertwine
Become a mighty presence with my heart and soul combined
To serve You with a purpose that the world has want to see
The purpose of reflecting Christ in His divinity
That flows like waves from heaven through His Spirit to His bride
Who is emboldened by His grace when she wills to abide
Within Your sanctuary constantly through daily prayer
Not falling to the devil who still tempts us everywhere
But who has been defeated by our Saviour on the cross
Who by Your illustrations gave Your lessons to the lost
That we need not be taken by the devil's sophistry
As long as we're connected to Your Son in purity
Of love that knows no boundaries that never walks in shame
That knows the daily cleansing through the power of Jesus name
Because Your love has drawn us to reflect the One You are
Who is our Light in darkness like the rising morning star
Matthew 13:3-23; Psalm 77:13
