the one

so many things i could call you but none capture what you are to me

i talk to you daily

read your love letters and fall

willingly

deeper

into you

for didn’t you say

if i delight myself in you

you will give me the desires of my heart?

 

when i talk about you to other people

they say

why would you follow someone like him

why do you spend so much time with him

you're changing

beyond recognition

losing yourself

becoming new

but how can i not when you give me things they don’t

and never will

for didn’t you say

if i accept you in front of everyone

you will accept me in front of your father?

 

your love is astonishing and gives me joy i cannot contain

the more i learn of you the more i desire your presence

am impatient for your words

your thoughts

your commands

i treasure all that you give me

slowly,

s l o w l y

i am learning to wait on you

for didn’t you say

if i hope for what i cannot see

i’ll wait all the more patiently?

 

you gave up everything for me

i must do the same

ignoring what people say

ignoring my selfish ways

for didn’t you say

i am the only way

the truth

and the life?

 

in all that i do i will always choose you

you are my lover

my provider

my friend

my comforter

and my savior

for didn't you say

above you there will be none else

 

i shall worship you only

my God.
