Voice

Press Your lips against my ear

 

Let me hear Your breath ,

 

Your word

 

Your instruction

 

It is Your voice my mind and heart and body longs for

 

Always wise and full of hope.

 

speak to me I pray 

 

Surely as You breathe out Your words 

 

They in turn will become my life’s breath

 

Strength to my body

 

Instruction to my mind

 

Hope for my spirit

 

 

 

Press Your lips against my ear

 

Let Your words fall

 

And let me gather each one as a precious treasured jewel

 

For truly they are that and more

 

Be generous 

 

Be merciful 

 

Don’t share Your words based on merit

 

Surely then I should be deafened by Your silence.

 

But give words based on who You are

 

Give words out of the overflow of Your generous heart

 

Then I will hear the soft lapping watery sound of Your voice that bring so much life.

 

Washing against the stone that is my heart

 

They bring so much rest wrapped in comfort with the pillow of hope.

 

Then I will be changed

 

My heart will be healed and taught

 

My stone will become flesh

 

These powerful words will grant wisdom and insight

 

I will see, 

 

I will have light for my feet

 

I will not stumble 

 

Press Your lips against my ear I pray.
