Wake Me Up

First I just want to say that without God, I would not be inspired to write the things I do and would have no tongue to speak such words. I thank you Lord for giving me the gift of writing. Help me to shape it for you dear God. Let me be a fountain to your name. Wake me up Remove the blanket See how I shiver without it But shall I need it? Depend on it? Reach longing for it? Wake me up Oh light do you bring Warmth to my attention? Is this what the profits mention? Can I dress the way you do? How oceans move And skies be blue Beat light in me The way a human heart shall do? How it beats to move To feel a pulse To prove If condemnation be thy path Heaven bound Or fires wrath Be the stick that bares the flame He came Just as we shall come for you Broken bruised And ever smiling in your Presence fame I will wear the rags of shame Wake me up For I crave sleep Its rhythmic inhale Of intoxication The indignation Put to rest Keeping my head level With my chest Wake me up You have come for me Haven't you? For I feel your presence And I needn’t this blanket any longer Shiverless Unpredicted Vindicated Uncomplicated Warm Warmer than I've ever been Than I have asked to be Longed to be Yet here I be Warm You came for me As I shall come for you In time And in pain I come to glorify your rein Your name Your heir Your air Wash your feet till clean And bare Unscratched Untainted As God have madeth Created To be. Wake me up so I can ever indulge In your light And in your warmth And in your presence Your heart How it beats to move To feel a pulse To prove What blankets cannot cover Cannot comfort Cannot save Wake me up I needn't this blanket any longer.

reminds me of a niece, she walks around with a blanket and her thumb in her mouth.
