Makes Me Wonder

             Silence keeps me here and sitting,
             Waiting on some kind of word.
             Will you say 'hello' again?
             Or could this be the very end?

             Can we walk the streets of Moose Jaw?
             Or tour the city in your car?
             I like to hear you share your thoughts.
             I'll let you learn to ask for mine.

             I've got this treasure that I'm told to keep.
             She's not for me but someone right.
             She tries to leap right out her cage.
             How long can I keep her down?

             I think I need a pair of blinders,
             Keep 'em on, days and nights.
             I've got one LORD, one hope, one prize.
             Let me fix me eyes & train my sights.

             Listen to me, dear little girl:
             Christ is enough to fill you, please you.
             To Christ, give yourself all.
(I promise) Your desires will be whole.
