Poem by Cherie
Oh, how I long to linger In the presence of his grace Oh, how I love to linger Just to see His face When I looked into his eyes I saw a spark so true The homeless man who could not stand, I knew just what to do. Darkness all around us, Humans with no care. My heart screamed out to know him, This man in great despair. I took his hand and held it, I looked straight in his eyes. Let me give you food to eat, And know you by your name. I don’t have much to give you, But my time I can spare. My heart screamed out to know him. This man in great despair. To the child that was beaten, To the ones who feel afraid. To those who feel hopeless, Thinking about the grave. I say to you there is One, Who can mend All your tears, There is a man who loves you, Who can take away your fears. His name is mighty Jesus. He’s the Son of God, it’s true. He came to redeem us So that we live again. He finds us when we’re weary. He holds when we’re blue. He extends a hand to help us. When we’re broken and confused. His Spirit is within us It falls fresh like dew. Gentle rain can contain the life we once knew. Before our hearts were broken Before our flesh did sin Before shame and doubt Ever entered in. There was a God who made us Perfect in our soul; There was a God who loved us More than we could know; There was a God who chose us For communion with Him; There was a God who knew us When we were with no sin. This God I am sharing is Father, Son and Spirit, This God I am sharing Is holier than thou, This God I am sharing Is triangular and true, This God I am sharing Gave creation to you. He’s always waiting For you to call His name He’s gently showing The rights you can claim. He patiently endures The rebellion in your soul He longs to tell you Just what to do But like infant to man Maturity is due. When you’ve reached your max And done all that you can When your knees are weak And can no longer stand When your sight goes blind To the facts of this world When your ears can’t hear The lies the enemy has hurled When you stop believing in your own righteousness That’s when God will show up In your midst. Gentle rain will fall And His Kingdom will come When your faith has grown And believe that He has won. When your trust becomes a tree with deep roots Your branches will grow And there will be off shoots So When you feel alone Just call out to Him; Pray for healing And repentance of your sin. Ask for forgiveness For your very soul; Love one another And Remember your goal, Seek fruit of His Spirit It’s all you’ll ever need Peace and deliverance It’s how you will succeed. Know your position, Heart on the ground. Seek His glory And you will be found. Oh how I long to linger, In the presence of his grace. Oh how I long to linger, Just to see His face.
