Need

Need I used to live in a world of need A dreadful scary place indeed Needing something God won't give Yet needing a wicked miracle to live No food was ever needed more Water could never tempt me sore Not love, nor family entice Not greed or power even might No promises of healing be believed Nothing else could fill this need. The world faded to shades of gray No thought of the time ticking away No care for others, so then i knew I was changed completely as this need grew In its cocoon kindness turned Gone or decayed all goodness learned Truth made into a tangle of lies Beauty metamorphosised Oozing out of the shell I'd made Ugliness and now nearer the grave Why only judgment? Why does no one care? “Well…did you ask?” No! I didn't dare! There will be demands, I'd be force-fed. “Who would offer a stone to a child asking for bread?” Expectations, Things I know I can't do. “You can do all things through Christ, who loves you.” What if I fail, And everyone knows my sin? “Take no thought for tomorrow,I've already been.” Okay, I said, what do I need do? “Just reach out for me, as I'm reaching for you.”
