Idle Chat...

As I lie down on my back, sweetness melting in my mouth

Thoughts swim on in my mind causing ripples in its peaceful waters

The ripples continue to form and create a cyclone that destroys all that lies in its way

It destroys my peace; it destroys my chain of thoughts

Oh lord awake, awake from Thy slumber and calm the storms of my mind

For even the sea listens to Thee, the fish the swim at Thy command

What then is the anxiety of my heart?

For when Thou art for me oh Lord, who can stand against me?

Thou hold me in thy arms and show me my name carved in the palm of Thy hands

Thou knew me before I existed, such a deep bond we share

Thou knew me and recognized me when I never was

How much more oh Lord will Thou recognize and know me now

Ever tear drop that escapes my eye and ever thought that troubles me

Thou have a count of

Because Thou care, because Thou love, because Thou art who Thou art

The twinkle in my eye, Thou place it there in the night

So that the morning sun should shy away from the brightness of my smile

The smile on my lips, Thou place there when I’m sleeping

So that I wake up to praise Thee in happiness and grace

Such is Thy love for me, but I am so weak my lord

That I fail time and again to know and recognize Thee

I lived with Thee for nine months in my mother’s womb

But I have forgotten Thee and Thy tender love

Make haste my lord to shower me with Thy love

Make haste and send me Thy spirit in its fullness

That I may let Thou into my life, that I may let Thou love me more and more

I talk to them but they don’t answer me

I approach and knock, but they push me away

I hurt oh Lord and I hurt so badly, but I know Thou see it all

Thou let it happen for Thou have a plan, a plan for goodness and brimming with hope

I trust Thee my Lord for I know Thy skill, Thou art the most adept of all

I’m a lamb, I falter and I stray away

I come to Thee only when I need to graze

When I’ve had my fill of water and fodder

I go to other places, I wander and I pay no heed to Thy call oh Lord

But Thou art my merciful Shepard, Thou guide me still

Thou come out of love to find me and take me

Thou swing me and place me gently on Thy shoulders

I rest feeling secure with Thy arms around me

I know if the wolf comes Thou will face him alone

But no harm shall grope me and pull me down

They say we never met, they say we’re far away

But Thou oh Lord are right where Thou were

It is I who keep going back and forth

But Thou pull me closer in Thy love and mercy

I can talk to Thee my Lord for ever and ever

Time shall pass by me and I wouldn’t know

For Thou listen to every word I speak to Thou

Nothing I say goes unheard

But Lord in Thy mercy talk to me

Let me be the one who listens to Thy word

Thou have spoken to me oh Lord, many a time Thou have

But a deaf ear I have turned unto Thee

Aid me my Lord that I may listen

Listen to Thy word and keep it well

For it’s pleasing to Thee that I keep Thy word

And it’s a privilege for me that I get to hear Thy voice
