I Am Ready Lord

old friends return;

wooing,

soothing,

inviting,

cajoling;

standing just outside the door,

hiding among the dark

angry shadows,

waiting for the show to begin,

patiently biding their time;

all night diners,

endless cups of coffee,

lonely highway lines,

empty roads leading nowhere;

how far is the bottom?

where do the lies end?

where does truth begin?

emotional roller coaster rides,

painful days and nights,

forgotten dreams,

silent memories;

who cares?

all I ever wanted,

was for someone to

recognize the pain,

someone to understand

the depth,

someone to salute the effort,

but no one ever does;

no one but You;

don’t let me fall Lord,

hold me above the killing zone,

keep me safe from the

slaughter below;

I hear Your precious voice;

I am ready Lord,

I am ready;

all I want is to belong to You,

all I need is You;

I am ready Lord,

I am ready.
