Poetry: Far away

by Valerie Daniels

Created on: November 26, 2008

I'm willing Lord I have done

all that I remember is needed

I've laid myself flat out on the floor

Let the tears fall, begged and pleaded

so why are you still far away from me

I have praised you with my words

I have turned and bent on my knees

I have promised you everything possible

sang to you in worship, even a time I screamed

so why are you still so far away from me

How much more attention coul you want

just tell me what to do i will do it

for a moment in your presence I would trade it all

The rest of my days, my hopes my dreams I would give

but you are still far away from me

So I stood after praying just that way last night

I gave him his freedom to be away

And just as I stood, there in the dark

He came, anmd I heard Him say

why are you still so far away from me
