You

So one of my Christmas gifts from Mama Reed was a new iPod... it is a purple 5th generation nano with 16 GB of space!! My old ipod only had 2G so if I wanted to put new music on, I had to take some off and I was constantly rearranging. I am loving the new ipod and finding some of my old music!

One of things I found on it was an old CD my friend Lara had given me and the following poem is read as one of the tracks and it just touched me again tonight so I wanted to share:

(you can also see her read this poem on youtube)

You

by Amena J Brown

You find me when I'm hiding behind all my disguises

You see me

It takes you to keep me breathing

You are heart...Passion...Vision...Word Incision

You send me and you bring me close

Close close closer

Until when you look at me you see you

You are heavenly

My present and future destiny

You are Father...Creator...Sustainer...Life changer...Pride breaker...

You are yesterday today and forever

You are pleasure...You are worth...Reason...Present in every season

You are worship...Devotion

You are the reason for all my commotion

You are the one that I pray to

You can tell that I'm nothing without you

So awesome that I can pray to you about you

To know you...To sense you ...To believe you more...To love you more...To obey you more

To give you more of my heart

Oh God search me...Know me...See me...Examine me...Test me...Love me...Watch me...Protect me...Show me...Investigate me...Be pleased with me...Question me...Keep me...Change me...Have me...Correct me...Take me...Help me...Create in me...Break in on me...Be my reality...Sustain me...Decrease me...

Decrease me

Decrease me

Decrease me

Until there is no me left

Only you

Only you

Only you

You are light...Are true... Are you... Are hope... Are love... Are strength... Are escape rescue safe... You are peace... You are belief... You are advance and retreat

Of what, to what, to whom can I compare you?

You are my all things new

You are my place of refuge

You are my fortress

My rest

My creativity in the strength of your words to me

You are my ability to see hear feel move live breathe be

You are life and death all at the same time

You are friend

You are believer savior redeemer

You are today tomorrow and the next day

And the next day and the next day and the next day

You are truth

You transcend old age and youth

You are timeless... priceless... lightness in darkness... greatness...goodness...sinless

And in a mess like my life you see righteousness

You leave me speechless

You alone are God
