Teach me again

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
