In your quiet time I hear you say
“Lord please help me, for I need a place to stay”
Then you answered, Lord; “I will lead you to this place you yearn for.”
Will this be all you need now, or will there be more?
The next day you ask, “Lord help me with all my finances”
I answer, “Surely, let me slowly organize your circumstances”
You breathe relief and gave me thanks
Will this be all you need now you ask, or can we be frank?
You are right Lord; there is more I request
As you know, I have always wanted to be known as the best
I see this need in many you say, for why you do not know
But here you are my son yet look before you go.
My heart is still empty as I search for my greatest need
For Lord, there is still a hole in my heart, I begin to plead
Just then the idea comes, more fame will fill the gap
Lord, thank you for giving me this request, I think perhaps.
Days have gone by now, sitting here with all my gifts
Loneliness surrounds me, as again I need a lift
Lord what do I need now so desperately I will search for
There is only one gift you need, it’s behind this great door.
I reach for this door and hear a gentle knock
Just then my eyes stray as I see something shiny sitting upon a nearby rock
It’s a precious stone, now I have found
Lord thank you for this gift, I will see you around
I play this game every day now as I awake
I look for and ask for all I can and all He can make
Short glimpses of wholeness in my heart I begin to feel
Yet deep down inside I know there is something missing, something real.
Lord I am back again, with everything I need
Why do I miss you so? I ask while on my knees
I have given you all you ask for my dear one
What else is it you think you need, but the blood of my son?
Lord, why is it that all I have will not do
I have all that one can ask for, I even have you
What else is there, surely, I am missing one
No, you have it all you say, even plus some
Lord, my heart is broken for all that I have
I sit saddened here alone, instead of being glad
What else you ask me, can you do
Lord I am beginning to see now, for all I really want is you
In my quiet time I now begin to see
As all that I had wanted you graciously gave to me
Yet you always knew my deepest desire was not one specific thing
What I really longed for was to worship my King.
Just a Thought…
