Nigh

I stand here

It is just me

I stand in front of you

Wanting more and more

All I want is you

All I need is you

I reach out to touch your face

Feel your skin underneath my fingertips

I want to feel your breath against my face

I yearn for you

All for you

But how God how

How do I become so close?

So close there is no space

No space between us

My soul grows weak

Weak at the thought of not knowing you

You should be in me

My life should be you

Be who you are, what you are

I reach out but you feel so far

Why Lord, why

Why so far when I feel like

I’m stepping towards you

Why

I reach and then you reach back

Draw nigh to me my Lord

As I draw nigh to thee

You grasp my hand

Pulling me close

Close enough that I can feel your heartbeat

Beating through me

You are my everything

Hold me for forever and ever
