All I Want is You



It’s been a long night
As I’ve been sitting here,
It’s hard to hang tight
When morning’s so near

I’m counting each star
For every thought of you
And I watch you breathe,
Waiting for a just a few

Moments of devotion,
The most raw joy and pain
Honest conversation
Prayed in more than just My name
Your heart deep in scripture, finding Love you never knew
Child, all I want this morning is you

You pick up My book,
Putting your time in,
Reciting the prayer,
“Please forgive my sin”

Missing salvation,
I’m invisible to you,
More than a checklist
More than “to-dos”

It’s moments of devotion
The most raw joy and pain
Honest conversation
Prayed in more than just My name
Your heart deep in scripture, finding Love you never knew
Child, all I want this morning is you

The sun travels across the sky
The silver moon glides through the night
You go to church, do everything right
All the while, I’m waiting by

I’m waiting
I’m waiting
I’m waiting

For those moments of devotion
The most raw joy and pain
Honest conversation
Prayed in more than just My name
Your heart deep in scripture, finding Love you never knew
Child, all I want this morning is you

It’s you, it’s you, it’s you
Not fancy prayers or warmed pews
All I want is you

  1. What a lovely poem, Allie. It puts a new perspective on morning devotions. God's our lover, just waiting to spend time with us. This would make a great song!
