RUNNETH

My heart runneth after Thee,
As the hart runneth after the water brook.
Yet, I know You are within, always within,
It seems that it is hard, sometimes, to talk with You there.

I know You love me, for Your Word tells me so,
But I forget, and let my mind wander from your path.
Forgive me, my Sweet Lord, and help me to live closer to Thee,
Closer to Thee in Thy Word, closer to Thee in my heart.

Let the well of Your love that You have put within me,
Again overflow onto those whom I meet, wherever I meet them,
Dear Lord, be it in person, or on the internet, just let Your love
Overtake them and let them know they are loved by You.

Let Your Words drip from my tongue as honey from the comb, Lord,
Have these sweet words tell them that You are the Risen Son of the Living God,
And that no one comes to the Father, except by You.
Please, Lord, open my mouth for You, My Sweet Lord.
