A Conversation with God

Come as you are:

Come here child, sit a spell 

I really want you to do well 

You hide from me, but you can’t go far 

Don’t you know who you are 

A child of God, the king, most high 

Every now and then I try 

To knock-knock-knock at your door 

Don’t you want to feel peace once more 

Like you did when you were small 

Those were the days, now you’ve grown so tall 

Once so tiny and full of faith-now I sit and watch and wait 

Come on child do yourself this favor 

Call on me-call on your savior 

Clothed in white and wonderfully bread 

I covered you with crimson red 

Don’t you see to me you’re perfect, I died for you and you were worth it 

You’re broken down, shamed and weary 

I’m calling to you child-please hear me 

This world has you sad empty and bruised 

I know you’re tired of being used 

I called you to do something more 

You’re too distracted by Babylon's whore 

The temptress of luxury-of pride-and of hate 

Come on child, let’s have a date 

Come back to my convenient tried and true 

Can’t you feel my love for you 

Air in your lungs day after day 

Still yet you choose to go astray 

Be in the world but never of it-for it will keep you trapped-trapped in a bucket 

The lid sealed tight and only darkness 

Come to me you broken hearted 

Come to me my sweet child 

I’ve missed you it’s been a while 

Sit with me, you’re not too far 

I don’t care about the stains 

Come as you are 

Let me cover you with my grace 

Look up child, wash your face 

No one’s too dirty to be made new 

Don’t know that I love you 

You are mine now and forever 

Come here my child, we’re in this together 

Would you be proud? 

Would you be proud when you see me now? 

Day after day wondering how? 

How did you do it, how did you do it all? 

Day after day, through the struggles I fall

Ups and downs and roundabouts

Sitting and wondering filled with doubts 

Am I doing this right-this thing called life 

Tribulations, trials, and hardened strife 

You laid yours down so I could have mine 

Unlike cats I don’t have-nine-

One-one, it’s an emergency-can’t you see

I needed you, you freed me 

Out of the pits into your embrace 

God I can’t wait to see your face 

Would you be proud to know me or throw me aside,

from my shame I run and hide 

Like Adam and Eve, I’ve betrayed you,

but each time to me you stayed true 

Time and time and time again

I fall but you’ve cleaned every sin. 

God I’m no good, but you are 

You never let me stray too far 

Thank you, Lord, for saving me, thank you for setting me free 

Father God, on behalf of myself and my readers I'd like to say thank you. Thank you for the blood you shed on that cross, thank you for saving us when we get lost. You're a healer, savior, all the above, the only thing we have to give is love. Let us surrender our lives unto your will, the way you did for us up on that hill. We don't deserve you; this is true but the best part of us is you.

Lord, please allow each and every one of us to humble ourselves and submit onto you Father. Allow those of us who know you to spread your good news across the world and for those who haven't experienced your love to do so. May they have eyes to see and ears to listen in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, Amen!
