College Poem #7

I was thinking of another worship song from my childhood days while writing this; it’s entitled “Light the fire again.”

Losing my Connection with God

What has happened to my heart, oh God? My heart feels empty, with nothing to fill
The void within-I feel as lifeless as a dead insect on the windowsill.
Not so long ago, I believed my faith was strong-that I was ready for whatever lay ahead.
But now, rather than moving closer to You, I have been drawn away instead.
I long to hear Your voice, oh Lord, it is water to my soul.
Without You, I am incomplete; Your love is what makes me whole.
So draw me back into Your presence that I may worship and fall down
At the feet of the King who took my place on the cross, wearing a thorny crown.
I am like a wayward sheep, Lord, turning to follow my own way.
Forgive me, Lord, and heal my heart, that in Your presence, I would forever desire to stay.
