Silent Need<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

With God\u2019s glory around me I find deep in my soul:<\/span><\/p>\n

a longing, a seeking, a need to be whole.<\/span><\/p>\n

To crawl out of the box, to present the real me;<\/span><\/p>\n

the person God knows, who\u2019s not easily seen.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I<\/b> bring to this moment a joy, yet a dread:\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

an excitement, a query, a truth yet unsaid.<\/span><\/p>\n

He<\/b> brings to this moment, a quickening breath:<\/span><\/p>\n

a promise, a future, life beyond death.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

To see me through His glory beyond all my sin,<\/span><\/p>\n

His presence: His conscience alive deep within.<\/span><\/p>\n

To stand free in His glory, being all I can be:<\/span><\/p>\n

seeing Him as Creator, and I truly me.<\/span><\/p>\n
