Just You

 

I want to think about You, just You,

To focus just on You, for a moment or two,

For a few quiet moments, I want to be still,

You wouldn't think it so very hard to do.

Then unbidden, all my idols come,

Every thought that exalts itself, and opposes You,

I begin to dismiss them all, one by one,

Then my ego rises up too.

I realise our interactions are all about me,

How do I want You to help me today,

I give You my wish list, so I can be free,

To be so much happier in this life about me.

Then for the merest moment, I have a tiny glimpse,

Deep within my heart , Your immensity I sense,

An impression of Your awesomeness, deep within,

And all at once I feel, the heaviness of sin.

Oh my great God, how I long to love You,

With my whole being, in deep devotion true,

Holy Spirit help me, refine my focus to,

Fill up every moment, with thoughts of You.
