Meet Me Halfway

[One of the things I enjoy most when I set my heart to spend time with God, is to listen to Him first, and talk to Him...before I proceed with my plans to read or write. For someone like me, who is totally inclined to do-this-do-that-task-task-task, it is a deliberate restraint to just listen... It turns out that I enjoy such moments of connecting... of gazing into His heart... of devotion... and at times He moves my heart in such a way that I could only express in a poem. So here it is!]

Meet me halfway

Across the road

Lest I grow weary

Lest I grow faint, I pray

I'll come near

Nearer than you thought

Just by your side

And lead you by My right hand, He says

What God is this

That He would come so near

What King of mine

Who stooped so low and lifted me up (Psalm 18:35)

He raises the poor from the dust (1 Sam 1:8)

And lifts the begger from the ash heap

To set them among princes

And make them inherit the throne of glory

I say meet me halfway

He says I'll come just for you

All the way

All for love

He is the wind beneath my wings

He is my strength when I am weak

He is my voice when I couldn't speak

He saw the best there was in me

Till I see Him face to face

Till I join Him in His glory

I will rise

And I will run

Halfway

All the way

Forging ahead, hearts ablaze

For Jesus, my Great Reward
