Come Down to Me

Come Down to Me

I have been praying for God to come down to me To rend the heavens and come down,
come down I want to taste His glory, His splendor, His beauty I want the oil of His love to be my crown
I cry, I fast, I weep, I pray I am stilled when I hear the Father say,
“You come down to me, come down to me
I live in the dregs and depths of society I live where the poor and the needy lie
I live where people are sick and die”
He shows me a picture of the orphan’s face He says, “Right here, right now is My love and grace.
To be raised up, son, you must come down
For here in the pit is My glory and crown.”
I have been praying to God to come down to me
I must descend now to be now set free
He rent the heavens and showed me His face
In the face of an orphan needing His love and His grace I must go down

SHATTERED

My husband Duane is a great writer and from time to time I will be sharing his poetry with you. You can click over to his website on the link below.




SHATTERED

I am the face of an orphan

As you can see, my world has been shattered

My dreams are broken; in fact I don’t know what dreams are

My fears keep me closed inside all the time so I cannot see the stars

I know you see pictures of me and feel pity and sadness

Yet I need more

I need you to come and begin mending the pieces together again

I need you to free me so I can run with my friends

I need Love to show up in my life and begin putting it all back together for me

I need to be free. I need to be free.

I need someone who cares enough for me

That they will release me into my destiny

And in the process find their own.

When are you coming? Every day I grow

When are you coming so Love I will know?

Look here through the glass, look into my eyes

See the greater the sacrifice, then the greater the prize

Come and release me into my destiny

When you do you find your own by setting Love free
