So... It has been quite a while since I have posted last... So a bunch of poetry had accumulated in my notebooks. There were so many that I kind of just dumped them all on here, not even bothering to sort them by category etc... Thus my title, "A Pile of Poetry". I hope you enjoy my rather random collection. =]
Every time I fall down,
You pick me up again,
No matter what I say or do,
You're here through thick and thin,
How many times have I broken Your heart?
Been distracted, walked away?
But on my knees, You're reminding me,
That Your love is here to stay.
---
I feel like a phony, an actor, a fake,
I try so hard to be real, but it's a feeling I can't shake,
I know all the right words to say,
How to act and what to do,
But my life is just a worthless facade,
If my heart isn't true,
I need You to show me who I am,
I'm confused and I'm lost, and I just don't understand,
But no matter what happens I will trust in You,
'Cause Lord, You are the only source of truth.
---
I just can't get you out of my mind,
I don't know what to do,
Try and try again as I might,
I can't stop thinking about you,
Your eyes, your voice, your smile, your laugh,
They captivate my heart,
I look away and blush,
Because I'm feeing something start,
You're everything I've ever dreamt of,
Handsome, smart, and kind,
I can't help but wonder, wish and dream,
That someday you might be mine,
I don't want to rush; just take it slow,
Maybe things aren't what they seem,
But in my heart I can't help hoping,
That it's more than a wishful dream.
---
There will come a day when I will meet,
The angel death; parting so sweet,
Cast off my flesh, to sleep eternal,
My spirit rise, renewed and vernal,
And on that day my eyes will see,
My Savior clothed in power and glory,
Be swept up in His loving embrace,
And through tears of joy, I will know His face.
---
I surrender at the cross,
Where I lay my burdens down,
I give You all I am Lord,
I'm laying own my crown,
Everything I have is Yours,
Alone to give and take,
I surrender all m own desires,
As You did for my sake,
Guide my mouth to speak Your words,
To do Your work, my hands,
I want to follow You alone,
I surrender to Your plans.
---
Let Your wind blow,
Wind of Your power,
Blow away all impurity,
Let Your wind blow,
Wind that bring hope,
Let faith rise inside of me,
Lord you are faithful,
Your word never fails,
And I will trust in You,
I'm caught in Your mercy,
And saved by Your grace,
There are none who compare to You,
---
I want to rest in You,
Lord, draw me close, draw me in,
I need to feel Your love,
Hold me in Your arms again,
I want to lay my head against Your chest,
Hear Your heart, feel You breathe,
Just to be closer to you, Lord,
Is all that I need,
Let Your peace like a river,
Wash away my pain and fear,
Lord draw me to Your heart,
I want to feel You near,
Guide me by Your hand,
And never let me go,
Help me keep my eyes on You,
So that I can know,
Ever time I fall away from You,
My world falls apart,
I know that life is better,
When I am where You are.
---
When will my foolish heart learn,
That to risk is to hurt and break,
Yet still it cries and yearns,
Lord, what do I do with this ache?
'Cause I don't want to hurt again,
But I can't control my heart,
No matter what I say it won't listen,
It's like it wants to fall apart,
How much more will it take,
How many times must my heart break,
Before I learn to look before I leap,
Lord I'm trying to wait on Your time,
But it's hard not to look for an end to this rhyme,
Lord, i feel so out of control, I need Your peace,
I know that all I need is You,
So why won't my heart be still?
Lord show me the way that is right and true,
Keep me in the center of Your will.
---
I'll sit in the middle of the night,
Bathed in daylight,
I'll stand out in the pouring rain,
To feel the sweetness of this pain,
'Cause all I really want to do is feel your fingertips on my cheek,
As I lose myself in the warmth of your eyes,
When all the shadows of the day,
Invade your thoughts at night,
And neon pictures overwhelm you,
With their light that shines too bright,
Just remember all the things that have been said,
And lose yourself in the color of the sky.

I wonder when you look at me,
What is it that you really see?
The words I say, the things I do,
Do you see me the way I see you?
Every time I fall down,
You pick me up again,
No matter what I say or do,
You're here through thick and thin,
How many times have I broken Your heart?
Been distracted, walked away?
But on my knees, You're reminding me,
That Your love is here to stay.
