Longing...
by Victoria Loveday
There is a longing in every life
A feeling of great desire
We would be free now
from every strife
If we fanned the flames of
love's great fire
But too often we grow cold
and to indifference... we fall
Can love's flame return to
those who have ignored the call?
Who have allowed this great
chill within our soul.
I do not have answers
but this much I do know
There is only One love
that can ever make us whole
And while we cling fast to that
which we have desire
It is only His great love
that can really ignite the fire
A fire that burns deeply
and cannot be contained
no matter the attacks against it
It will never refrain
from speaking His great mercies
His grace, His peace, His love
His longing to pour out His blessings
in showers from above
And if we but listen
we will hear love's great call
echoing from the past the day
they nailed Him to the cross.
