My Plan...

My plan is plain
   Spilled out on a list
I will bow just right
   I will spell out my needs
I will follow the verses
   that guarantee results
I will remember every sermon
   and follow every rule.
And with this plan
   I will have everything I want.

And so I begin
   I thank Him for what He does for me.
I begin to remember all the ways
   He has changed my life.
I reminisce about the times His voice
   spoke to me and nothing else mattered.

I begin to realize
   it has been too long since I heard Him .
I find my bow becoming a desire
   to curl up , to be in His lap.
I start to speak , attempting to follow the plan
   but instead I drift as a child being rocked
   by the gentlest parent ever.

And the plan dissolves
   He takes over and speaks
   of His Love and His plans.
Suddenly I dont want anything at all...
   In the lap of my Creator
   I have everything
   I need........
