Deeper Than Words

God has gifted my wonderful husband with the ability to pour out his heart to the Lord through poetry. I have posted two of my favorites below.

The first, Deeper Than Words, describes my heart and sometimes frustration in my walk with the Lord. Sometimes...my head (pride) so gets in the way. I might know scripture, understand the "right" answer, etc, etc...but get so frustrated when my heart is so far from Him. Anyone can spout answers...but, Lord I beg...I need You to work in me in a way that is...

Deeper Than Words

Deeper than words, deeper than thought,

Deeper than feelings is what I need.

I'm so tired of this superficial lot;

From all pretence I must be freed.

God, please go beyond what I've thought or I've heard;

You must do a work in me that is deeper than words.

Deeper than words and outward acts

My walk with you must be real.

I'm sick of posturing, posing and tact.

I shouldn't have to say what I feel.

That my life would be a witness shouldn't seem absurd;

Speak through me in ways that are deeper than words.

---

Deeper than words, written or read,

My knowledge of You should be alive.

May Your living word never seem dead.

My zeal for You won't You revive?

On to greater depths of God, I would be spurred;

Draw me into You, draw me deeper than words.

This is my other favorite...makes me fall in love with the Lord every time I read it :) The caption with this one reads:

Read it to your Lord, then let Him read it to you

A Love Poem

Let's go to our secret place

A place where there's no fear

Where we can commune together

Where I can draw so near

---

I give myself to you

Nothing for myself I keep

All my riches are for you

My devotion is that deep

---

Close beside you now

I love when we embrace

Rest and peace and joy

Are here now in this place

---

I love you more than any other

You mean everything to me

I long to be one with you

For all eternity
