psalm 23

psalm 23

this world down here, Lord?

is filled with clutter and chatter

people struggling to be heard

sound building upon sound

until I hear everything and

nothing but the endless noise

I want to know the sweet song

of my shepherd, the voice that is true

that leads me to the silence

to safety, abundance and peace

where I will feast on Your presence

forevermore

anchored

My prayer has long been

Lord help me be willing to be willing

to go when You say go

and I believe that pleases Him

but He reminds me

will you also be willing to stay

when I say stay?

I tune my ears to the Spirit

wanting the voice of my Shepherd

to ring louder

than any other

before sleep the other night

I saw a large metal anchor

I sensed God telling me to set my anchor in Him

if I set it in the ground, I am fixed in place

anchored in Him I can move where He moves

so this morning, pen in hand

I asked Him if He had more to share

Grounded in Me isn't static

but it is stable

the safest place

there is more freedom

more joy, more peace

When I move, you follow

and I remain your base of support

Yes, drop your anchor here

from your heart to Mine

What comfort this brings me

to know that even as I go, I can stay

in Him, and He in me
