My Journey to God

The Touch of God

A little whisper,
A little word,
Come now, Lord,
Let your voice be heard.

I sit and wait
Expectantly
To hear you speak of love
To me.

The breeze picks up,
The leaves respond
With graceful dance,
Mysterious song.

I close my eyes,
Feel your embrace,
Your holy touch
Upon my face.

O bless you, Lord!
I rest in Thee,
My heart’s desire,
Sweet mystery.
