With Each Line That I Write
It is you who gives these to me,
the poems of which I write.
It is You who makes me to see
the words which each come to light.
The sun is making it's long journey
again from the east unto the west.
And again, I'm feeling the yearning
to write each line distinct from the rest.
Sometimes I'm still quite overtaken
by the words which come forth unbidden.
And I know I'm not mistaken
as thoughts come forth that once were hidden.
You Lord, are the revealer of hearts
and mine is shown with each line that I write.
As each line ends, another one starts
till the whole poem is brought to the light.
Lord Spirit, you have brought forth in me
the desire to commit to line
all that pertains to you as the key
So Lord, use these writings of mine.
