I gotta know this, God!
I really gotta know this,
not just for knowledge
in my head,
or even a good feeling in my heart.
Your word is not just
letters and words
on paper printed,
or a
book of mere words and sentences,
or beloved stories from days gone by.
Your word is You, Dear Lord,
living and breathing
and waiting
to send
us marching into the breach,
like a king issuing a fervent battle cry.
I gotta know You!
I really gotta know You!
I don't just want to know
that You washed Your
disciples’ feet,
Like Peter, I want You to
wash
my hands and head
as well.
I don't just want to know
that John laid his
head on Your chest,
I want to feel Your warmth
and hear Your heart
beat in my ear.
I don't just want to know
You're making a place
for me in Heaven,
I want to see You face to
face,
I want to be held
in Your loving embrace.
I don't just want to know
You're going to come
back
to take
me to be where You are,
I want to be with You forever
now.
Come, Lord Jesus!
Come!
Alas, Abba, Father
not my will, but
Yours be done.
John 13-17
Mark 14:32-36 |
