Stay Connected,
I do try,
Yet it proves a task difficult;
even for the most disciplined child.
The demands of the day,
The time it takes to work;
And, yes, even play;
makes coming to You a pretty hard things to do.
Ahh but the importance
of Plugging in,
Is so hard to ignore,
Because Your presence
Surrounds me
And my spirit says
“He is here”.
Reminding me that
obeying,
following,
doing,
praising,
worshiping,
Is impossible to do;
If My Mind,
My Spirit,
My Body,
Does not Connect to You.

Fill my cup Lord
I lift it up to you
It’s empty Father
Void
Of what I need from You
To be
Sustained
Nourished by only You
Come and quench
This thirsting in my soul
Longing
Needing
Reaching
Out to You
Keep me
Comfort me
Provide me with
Manna
Pure food for my
Often malnourished
Wounded spirit
Bread from heaven
Feed me
Give this Child what she so
Desperately needs
Love
Peace
A sense of being
An ability to trust
When it has been broken
Time
And Time again
Lord,
This is what I ask
Fill It up
‘Til I want no more
And my broken contrite spirit
Has been made
