I want to write such as to comfort, Tender touch your cheek, To find the deepest love Your heart could want to seek. Human arms may feel your skin, Even touch your work-worn hand. But, in the dark of night, He will sleep the sleep of man. He may fix the broken gutter, Mend a leaky hose. But, when your heart is aching, Jesus is the only One who knows. He is the One who's always near. You can have Him, everywhere, To hear your every whisper; All your silent prayer. He knows just what you need To fulfill your loving soul. No man can lift you to the heights. That is not his role. Because man is less than God, They cannot fill the gap. To imagine someone can thrill us Is earth's dreamy trap. For men, being weak like us, Are full of deepest need; Hungry for more to fulfil their soul. They, too, need to glean. But, hoping in your loving God Will never disappoint. For, your Maker is your husband. He's all you'll ever want. His unfailing love for you Will never fade away. You have no need to fear. God's love is here to stay. Right now, He is delighting To carry us away. He sweeps us off our feet In eternal joy, today. Isaiah 54 |
