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
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!
