~ If Not For You ~
If not for you
my heart would weep
If not for you,
Alone to cry
And wonder why,
Empty inside.
Drifting on a bottomless sea,
Swept on the tide
Left, shall I die
As the world rushes by.
A tiny sparkle then I see
Maybe shining there for me,
A glow within my sight
One remaining mystery
Hidden beyond
My deepest night.
Shut out from the light.
Is that only when I find
A gentleness kind,
Reaching inside
Melting my heart,
Someone there
Somewhere to guide
Stretching out wide
Your arms filled with love
Crucified,
To envelope my heart
A fragrance divine
To be truly mine.
Father take it all
All of me that ought to die,
Then live
Take me to Yourself
Where all is sublime.
Soft
