Take One Now

Put down the iphone

Put down the cell phones

Drop the earbuds out of your ears

Sit and listen to me

Run home to me

Hear me speaking

Listen to the whispering in your ear

You are free to run

You are free to dance

Now listen up and listen here

I am your Lord

I am your God

You are weary my child

Whether you realize it or not

Let me hold you and draw you near

I should be your love

I should be your peace

I should fill the void you feel

Deep inside your heart

You hold me back

You won’t step forward

Why is this my child

When I am your Lord?

You are my King

You are my Lord

I want to listen

But there is so much noise

I know I run

I know I hide

I know though

That I want to try

I want to hear you, my King

I want to do as you please

I want to follow,

I want to run,

Oh, and how I long to dance

I know you will not fail me,

But how am I to believe

That the words spoken so anciently

Will always apply to me?

I may step and stumble,

Lord, what then will you think?

I am your child,

I love you so,

But the trust just isn’t there as You well know

Take a step little one

Take one and see

Take one now

See if you fall or if you feel free

Move little one

Move forward a little more

Move now, my child

Continue

Do it once more

See you are still standing

Build your trust in me

Take the steps asked of you

And I promise you will see

I am here for you

I forever will be

You are my child

And I have given you family

Look around you now

What is it that you see?

Friends who are family

Because you have accepted me

I will always listen.

I am always here.

I will not leave you,

Nor will I ever forsake you

Now, will you just trust and believe me?
