Longing…


I need words,
As wide as sky.
I need a language large as,
This longing inside.
And I need a voice,
Bigger than mine.
And I need a song to sing You,
That I’ve yet to find.

I need You oh, I need You.
I need You oh, I need You.


To be here now, to be here now…
To hear me now, to hear me now…


          -David Crowder Band “I Need Words”



Have you ever felt the perpetual drowning effect of life?  Those moments when you realize you’ve sat in the same place for so long that you can barely remember… How long has it been?  God… How far have I walked?  How hardened has my heart become?  How thick have I built these walls?  Can you see me still?  Not this physical body I’ve carried on my shoulders… but the heart that you died for… the soul that you set free…  Lord… Can you see me?  Do you recognize my face anymore?  Scarred… bruised… broken.  Lord, do you see past my dirty clothes… my shredded garments of pride, anger, selfish ambition…  Do you wipe away my tears and tell me it’s all ok now?  Do you hold me in your arms and tell me that my quest is over?  Do you hold me and tell me I’m home?  I need You… to be here now.

    Hey, thanks for your comment.  You definitely put things in a different light…thanks for the perspective.  You seem to be a pretty wise dude.  And you’re funny too.  A wise goofball….cool.

    Mmm.  Yeah, man.  I’ve felt that way many times, and still do sometimes.  You’ve described it very well.
