You beckon with gentleness, calling with grace,
Calming my restlessness, loving me still.
You draw me into your healing embrace.
Help me remember my Father’s goodwill
That shines on me daily from your holy face.

“When did I wander?� I sadly reflect.
Your presence was something I soaked myself in,
But somehow, distractions I did not expect
Turned my gaze outward, to my great chagrin
Still you invite, and I want to connect.

I ramble far, yet you still walk beside,
Waiting for me to acknowledge you’re near.
You never leave once you come to reside.
I’m weak, but you’re faithful in spite of my fear.
Restore, please, my first love and tear down my pride.

Whispers of mercy come wash through my soul,
Trickling streams in my desert, my night,
Soothing the roughness of heart that I hold.
Angel wings hover till first morning light.
Help me rise from my bed and relinquish control.
