Be Real For Me, God















Be real for me, God.
Let me see you
let me touch you
let me know you.

Be real for me, God.
Move out of my imaginings
and dreams and enter into
my every tangible moment.

Be real for me, God.
Be my only desire
be my only joy
be my only life.

Be real for me, God.
Step out of the painting
on my wall and stand
with me face to face.

Be real for me, God.
Let me forsake all
others and live for
You alone.

Be real for me, God.

Enough

When you tapped my soul, Lord
and said "Now is the time"
a great broom swept through
my being emptying it of all the useless
clutter that resided there
and it left a void, a space that
couldn't endure being without.

So I busy myself with the
never-ending work of filling
my soul with You-
but how useless it is!

For years I devour
everything that comes in my path;
I read and think and pray and talk and listen;
I question and answer and wonder and reflect.

It's never enough,
never enough.

I want more of You, Lord
I want all of You!

Will I ever be satisfied?
Will I ever say "Now I can rest"?
How can I be satiated with the infinity
of the Eternal?

For me, it's impossible
but not for You, Lord.

Fill me, water me with Your Word,
feed me with Your Love.
Quench my thirst for You.
Please, just give me enough.
