This is not my home
I find no thrill
no comfort
no future
here.
I long for You
to be with You
I long for life
eternal life
with You.
On days like this
subtle tricks on my mind
it plays
taking all the color
stealing all the joy
leaving me sad
but I can’t pinpoint
why?
My hope is in You
Your Word heals my
shattered heart
days like these will come
but I will cling to You.
My Rock
My Fortress
My Foundation
My Refuge
restore me
renew me
breathe life into me
O God,
My God
as long as I am
here.
Mary Beth 2019
Rooted and Grounded 
“I long for You
to be with You
I long for life
eternal life
with You.”
It amazes me to think that God longs to be with us even more than we long to be with Him.
