walking with those You love

I ’m sorry that the world is not alright
The days are dark and the nights are darker
As we sit alone in our rooms knowing
No one cares... no one cares but You.
And as we go through the halls seeking
Purpose and meaning and... acknowledgement
I see eyes looking in the wrong directions
And hear mouths speaking aimlessly as if...
as if their words were air keeping them alive.
They do not know what they do at all.
I dont know how You stood in the midst of this
Everyday surrounding yourself with these people.
Im not strong enough to always be the one standing.
Im not wise enough to know the answers
or bold enough to always speak up
I cannot do this on my own.
But I ask You to show yourself to me daily
and burn in me, shine through me
purify me, surround me, set me apart
I want nothing of this world.
But Youve told me that Im to be an example to these
clueless people (as I once was)
and I know that when I sit alone, your sitting with me.
Give me your heart because only your love
can lead me to love these foolish people.
My will is not strong enough
my love is not enough
my heart is not big enough no matter how precious youve made me

Its You.
Only You and
All of You.
That is what I want...
and I believe You show up when faith stands up.
