He’s All I Need
it is still, like the wind
after the rain has finally passed
and the surface of the earth
is dampened by the washing
brought by the One who knows…
even time must approach with hesitation,
will her graceful slumber sooth away
the darkness, the shadows, the shame
of a soft, melting rain
who cools the summer’s burning
breath, the sprinkle of light
following, her caress
like melancholy, doubting her story
the poetry of yesterday, fading
like dandelion’s blowing in the wind
remembering…
what once told a story of hope,
heartfelt words in rhythm,
rhyming and still as the rose
whose thorns protect the innocent,
abiding on the stem, her petals
revealing a tenderness
that comes from each breathless
tear, words are more precious than gold
while the tears are like hasty blows
falling on deaf ears,
gentling the sea with silence
will she see through the dim
casting its shadow on the heart
who knows He is here
He is living in the edges of a soul,
where life has been restored
the ache is gone
and grace is meant to form
a hope, a hope that will come
from the heart who knows
He is love, He is light, He is alive…
unending fire burns through the shadows,
remember, the flow of His love
glowing on the still, cool air
silencing the distant prayers
who are breathed
by hearts who grieve, hearts who need
yet time has proven that He is who He says He is…
He is greater than time, more alive
than the air I breath,
more wonderful than the heart who sees
past the darkness, through the murky
sin that sees, in spite of the enemy
He found me – He found me
and I’ll never be lost in eternity –
I’ll never be without the One who I see
He came for me and He’s my destiny
He is the free in me, and the faith that agrees…
wherever I am, whatever I see
there is a hope in me,
I will always believe in the love that is free,
the love that is KING – the SAVIOR
the FRIEND who saved me from me!
this JESUS, who is everything I will ever need!
