I want...

I want companionship. I want someone to talk with who I can love and lust over. I want someone who engages me, physically, mentally, emotionally, spiritually. I want to fall over and over in love with this person and have God bless us because we put Him first.

I want to get married. I want a wife who I can pray with about our days, about our fears, our kids, the direction we have chosen for ourselves under God. I want to have kids of my own and settle down. I want kids named Micah and Naomi and Stephen (and whatever names my wife comes up with). I want to watch them get born and hold them in my arms for the first time as I watch them sleep. I want to see them take their first steps as I hold out my open arms to them. I want to hear their first words, and cry the first time they say "Dad". I want to comfort them and teach them and guide them, and worry about their every move.

I want to watch them grow up and move out and find companions of their own. I want to grow old with my wife, and somewhere down the line re-propose and renew our vows.

I want so much for my life. I want so many things I don't know if I'll ever get.

But God... what do You want?

You're everything

You're everything I could want, that I could need. If I could just see You want me, I could believe. 'Cause You're perfectly all I want, all I need. If I could just feel Your touch, then I'd be free.

If I can just feel Your touch, then I can breathe.

Look how You shine so. The blind can see. And how You call, how You beckon me. The deaf hear the voice of love. You bid me come and the cripple run. You're the one to raise me up from this grave, to touch my tongue and then I'll sing, heal my limbs and joyfully I'll run to You.

'Cause You're everything. And I'm alive and I'll sing. I'm alive and I'm free.
