    My Thirst For You
                                          My Thirst For You
                                          By: Sandra Rains
    I know I've been here before
    and turned my heart away from you
    I know I've asked a hundred times
    But never believed it would come true
    I know I've been bad at times
    and even ungrateful I admit
    But Lord my thirst is strong now
    If you would give me just one sip
    I am but a sinner, it's true
    I lie, cheat and steal
    I turn a deaf ear to you at times
    afraid of what I might hear
    I am but a black sheep
    grazing in a spread of  fields
    dying for a drink and praying
    For my thirst is strong willed
    Lord I'm sure you know me
    I have talked to you many times
    I have cried and complained for years
    I have begged you to heal my mind
    This time Lord I am certain
    I can not do it alone, by myself
    If you would please forgive me
    and bless me with your help
    I would not turn away again
    I would be a better friend
    I would not shun the needy
    I would begin again
    I promise Lord, to listen
    When I hear your voice in my head
    Lord, it's just that my thirst is deep
    and gets deeper with each word said
    Lord I think you're beautiful
    though I've never seen your face
    But I feel you in my heart and mind
    and have witnessed your sweet grace
    Lord I think I love you
    No..I know I truly do
    For Lord I can not satisfy
    this deep Thirst without you
    So please, heal me, Jesus
    make me want to live the life I need
    A drink from you is all I ask
    You are my key to eternity

    We all need to tirst after God, the LIving God. As in Psalm 119, to run the way of His precepts and be satisfied with His word and His presence. Amen to all you wrote. Thanks, Sandra for being so clear concerning your fatih in HIm. A very compeilling read as the days draw near to His advent. He gives living water and we need never thirst for the world anymore.

    Poetry is either something that lives like fire inside you or else it is nothing, an empty formalized bore around which pedants can endlessly drone their notes and explanations.
