POETRY for the MASTER from his Servant pastor #1

INNER DEPTHS

Diving deeper into You,
I find myself wanting more and more.
Like a journey to the bottom of the sea,
exciting and new with each fathom of You.

Deeper and deeper I go,
seeking new discoveries;
through the peaks, valleys,
caverns of Your Word, Your Spirit, Your Heart.

Sonar rebounds with Word & Spirit,
as I traverse this journey…, this life.
Eagerly I await each response, as...,
each signal returns with a love-filled glimpse of You,

I want to know You more..., to the inner depths,
You respond in kind;
as a new current guides me,
filling me with Your unconditional Love.

Deeper and deeper we go, until...,
the inner sanctums of my soul are naked & exposed.
Total freedom found….,
In the inner depths of You!

I savor it all...,
as we journey on & on & on….
