When I Grow Up

Suckling on the Word of God,
This milk's my favorite food.
When I'm full I want to laud,
I would sing if I could.

I see Your face in every word,
My heart's in every period.
I'll pray and pray, 'til I'm heard,
I'm in grace's myriad.

When I grow up I wanna be
Like You, my Sovereign King;
To be like You is to be free,
A state to make me sing.

When I grow up I wanna be
Like You, my righteous Lord;
Your eyes in me make me see,
The Goal I'm to move toward.

Hold me close to hear Your heart,
Sing to me Your love.
Pierce my spirit with Your dart
Make my life Your glove.

Move in me, don't hold back,
My soul would fail with less.
I'll move to You, won't be slack,
Moving toward Your rest.

When I die, I'll come to You,
Forever to peacefully hide.
When I rise, I'll be like You,
And I'll be satisfied.

    Morning Song!

    I just woke up feeling my usual poopie & this just put a spring in my step & brought warmth to my heart! You always remind us to keep our minds on the Big Picture & it most certainly is BIG! Always feeling so on the edge I loved the way you end this piece:

    When I die, I'll come to You,
    Forever to peacefully hide.
    When I rise, I'll be like You,
    And I'll be satisfied.

    This is my daily to Him! Well done friend. May I still call you that?

    Every poem you write goes straight to my heart, Bob. Your words are God's foremost and forever, and your spirituality makes me want to be a better person. This is a beautiful testimony, dear friend. Patricia

    OOOHHH!

    This touched my heart in a very beautiful way and I'm sure it touched the heart of Jesus, as well!I want to ask you if you meant top say"Your eyes to make me see"..instead of my eyes to make me see? Anyway, it was very worthy of reading! It truely is a very lovely tribute to our Lord, Saviour and Master, Jesus Christ!
    God bless you!

    Very well done,a very poetic way to express how we should at all times try and be like Christ. From a young Christian feeding on milk till the mature Christian goes home!
