Awaken

For a few days there has been a stirring of worship in me. My heart began to long for worship. To sing worship. It has been a tangible feeling of the Lord. As I talked with Him about it on our walk yesterday this little poem came. I believe His heart longs for our worship in such a way that shows our love for Him. He seemed to remind me of moments of restoration after years of waiting. Truth be told, I had not been waiting on many things but had long since given them over to Him. Yet, slowly He has been giving back that which the enemy had stolen. He is worthy of praise.

AWAKEN

I hear you singing in my heart

Awaken, now, my love

So I’m aroused to seek your face

The righteous and Holy One.

Stir in me a desperate need

To hear and truly seek

For worship now it rings in me

A call to bend my knees.

I feel your stirring something deep

I hear the melodies

For in the grave comes open gates

Resurrection is sure indeed.

For all of Hell is watching clear

Aware the dream now breathes

And what it seemed they came to kill

Christ now restores to me.

So here a table sets fulfilled

With broken bread to dine

Where enemies are present still

But destiny…. it is mine.
