Whole Heart

Whole Heart


Is this how it is, Lord?
Is this how You feel?
You love me and are so close,
But although I love You back,
It is not enough

I love You, but not with my whole heart.
You are not a total part of my life.
You are so close,
But there is a curtain between.

You want to be involved
With every detail, every part…

Does Your heart ache, as mine does,
To be close
Just to spend time with me?

When I received my new birth
I received You in me
You are always with me

But why don't I turn to You
To have the reality of You,
Your Presence, in everything?

Is this the ache I feel-
Your love for me,
Your desire to be involved
With every detail, every part of my life?

To drive me into closer
Fellowship with You,
To drive me into Your Arms?
To have my whole heart?
