The Longing Heart

 In the deep darkness
    it is quiet and still,
      noise has disappeared
        nothing is stirring
          except the longing
            within me for Him
to come and to be.

Nothing do I want,
     nothing do I need, 
       no gifts from His hand, 
         no acts of favor,
           nothing do I seek,
             only Him alone
here beside, within.

Come now, Lord Jesus,
    fill this longing heart,
      linger here with me,
        pull up alongside,
          stay awhile with me,
            so that I might know
You in this stillness.
