Silent Need


By Marcia K. Leaser

                              With God's glory around me                    

                                 I find deep in my soul:

                              A longing – a seeking –

                                 a need to be whole.

 

                              To crawl out of the box

                                 and present the real me.

                              The person God knows,

                                 who’s not easily seen.

 

                              I bring to this moment

                                 a joy – yet a dread –  

                              an excitement – a query

                                 a truth yet unsaid.

 

                              He brings to this moment

                                 A quickening breath:

                              A promise – a future –

                                 A life beyond death.

 

                              To see me through His glory;

                                 beyond all my sin.

                              His presence – His conscience

                                 alive deep within.

 

                              To stand free in His glory;

                                 being all I can be.

                              Seeing Him as Creator,

                                 and I - truly me.
