His Likeness
The heart says yes
The mind says no
To you a greater likeness grows.
And chosen yes
And told your tale
And made to hear the bruised one wail
It cannot be
A futile quest
I hunger to dispense your best
In prayer so close
In Word so true
Commands now coming straight from you
I know I can
You birthed this call
And Spirit beckons
Take my all.
To partner with
The King of kings
And see Grace
Settle everything.
