You said, “Follow
me.”
I said, “I’ll
follow You.”
You said, “It
will cost you everything.”
I said, “You’re
all I want. You are my life.”
But that was
then
And this is
now
And I don’t
know
If you’re enough
I ask, If
you are all I need
Why do I long
for something more?
If You’re
the One who heals
Then why
this gaping wound?
If you’re
the All-Sufficient One
Then why
this ever-growing void?
If you
really love me
Why won’t
you give me what I need
Or else take
away this longing
So I can
finally have some peace?
But now, it
seems, I must decide
Who I will
love and trust
You, Your Word
and ways
Or myself
and my desires
I either
follow You
Ignore my
heart
Shut out the
longing
Plug my ears
as it screams to me
Or I give in
Follow my
heart
Fulfill
desires
Shut You out
And lock the
door
But lovingly
You warn me
And I know
My heart’s
deceitful
But You are
Truth
My way will
enslave me
In the end,
it brings me death
When it
seems
You’re
holding me back from life
It’s then
that You’re saving my life
The very thing
that promises
To fill my
heart
Would leave
me broken, bleeding
Lifeless, disillusioned
But for
every longing
You are
enough
And so for this longing
You are
enough
You are my
Shepherd
I shall not
want
