Reaching, Waiting, Longing

It’s not that far to get away,
If I can get there on my feet.

Here by the fire,
Maybe I’ll find some rest.

It’s incredible to be alone
And have someone else join the room.

Jesus, I love you,
Though my body wages war against me.
Jesus, I cling to you.
Jesus, please heal me -
I’m desperate.
Be my engagement in this life,
The training of my eyes.
You are the source of all that’s good.
I need you. Rescue me.
