It amazes me the love You have for me
Even when I rejected and retreated
You continued to pursue
As I desperate to avoid
I pulled away, piled over and covered up
Ignored, down sized and often pretended
The "I" was deaf to Your cries
Songs and glances, dreams and visions
Stirrings of my heart causing yearnings
Internal flaring, Your Spirit
Using many to call
Through all the faults, missteps and bungles
I cursed, cried, yelled and screamed
Shouting a chorus of "whys"
Until the wind of storms calmed
Below a dull roar
Then into my heart from within
Your Spirit a glimpse
That leads to a turn of the "I"
Taking me deep within Your heart
Cleansing me of where I've been
Showering me in the love of your son
How You loved me first
The price You are willing to pay
Patiently, You teach me again
