Calling Home (Poem)

Take my burdens for they are crushing my body
I am unable to shoulder them with everything inside of me
Heavy laden and burdened down is my spirit
I cry out to my God in Faith, He will hear it
Father who dwells in unapproachable light
I need help to make it through this horrible night
The Valley is long Lord, long indeed
A fresh drink of You is what I need
I thirst like the deer panting for the water brook
I admit my selfishness for my vitality it took
But You are my hope and my glory alone
I don’t need to call a man, I can call the Throne

Father have mercy on me and take this weight that I lay down
I lay it down here, right here on the ground
I lay prostrate before your holiness, the Holy Majesty
In the Name above all names set me free
These chains have bound me and constricted my praise
O how I need you Ancient Of Days
You who set the children of Israel free and parted the Sea
Who sent Your Son to die for humanity on the Tree
Who saved from lion’s dens and sent armies to flight
I need the Light to shine through into this night
There is pain that goes deep and I crawl to touch your hem
Telling myself, “I can be healed if I can just touch Him”

Have mercy on me as I cry aloud
I don’t care how it looks; I aint proud
I weep before you cause my tears have been my drink and pain my food
Hover over me with your Holy Spirit as in Genesis brood
As You did over the waters at the creation, at the beginning
Break the chains that bind so that my heart may go to singing
How great is my God who has adopted me into His household
Sending His son to free me from the Satanic Stronghold
I will praise You now because of Your glory
I know that you have great plans for me
