Poem 2: Am I In or Out?

Am I In or Out?



You're like a wave I want to catch
like a river flowing constantly

I want to find myself lost in Your flow
Where You are, what You're doing

You're so beautiful, high above me
Yet You welcome me, ask me to join You
Always calling, whispering my name

You hold out Your hands

I am overwhelmed by who You are
Even more that You look my way
Long for me, reach for me

You are patient when I hold back
Resisting the jump

I’m fearful I won't be able to keep up
Worrying I will disappoint You
but You are full of grace

There is no way to slow You down

Thank You for understanding my hesitation
the current is strong,
so the choice is to sink or swim

You don't mind if I start out slowly
As long as I make the jump, choosing You
I will gain speed, learning as I go

Thank You for Your friendship
For teaching me, equipping me with the tools I need

You give me the strength to push harder
and always help me to see further
You are the reason I choose to breathe

So, I am In.
