I NEED YOUR LOVE ALWAYS

[MIRIAM JACOB]

I NEED YOUR LOVE ALWAYS


You call to me and I answer,
sometimes I am stubborn
and You call again finding
that sometimes I turn my
face away...


Sometimes I hear Your voice
and yet I close my ears and
also the vents to my heart
that I might not answer...


Yet when You do not call I cringe,
stumbling in the darkness where
night becomes my cell and loneliness
my robe...


When I do not hear Your voice
I wonder if I still have favor
with You or if by taking You
for granted I have caused You to
turn away from me...


But in all of my selfish moments
I came to the realization, that in
my life I do need You more than
You need me...


And I awaken as if from a dream,
longing for the sound of Your voice
or for Your kiss upon my cheek and
a warm tight hug from your
always embracing arms...


For Father, I do need your love....always.
