A Letter

Dear Father God - I'm writing You a letter
To explain what You mean to me
I've waited my whole life to feel Your love
Now I can feel it - so brilliant, so pristine
I am blind with fanatical love for You
Crying out to You, Lord, my arms are raised
I lean to your whisper and seek nothing more
You're beyond all radiance and fit to be praised

How remarkable that I can feel You
And how thankful I am to be saved
How remarkable that I can hear You
And how incredible, the price that You paid

You're something for which there is no substitute
And this world has nothing to offer me
I am running to You, Lord, with reckless abandon
Because with You is the only place I want to be
I'm incapable of describing the depth of how I feel
How lost and broken I was without You, how there's no going back
How I inhale Your name, Jesus, over and over
To break the power of the enemies attack

How remarkable that I can feel You
And how thankful I am to be saved
How remarkable that I can hear You
And how incredible, the price that You paid

I am sure of the things that I hope for
And I have become certain of things unseen
God, I know that You speak only the truth
And that Your living Word can speak to me
Please guide my steps, Father God
Not just where to go, but also what to do...
Sincerely Yours, with a thousand thoughts
Of how much I truly love you
