at the wedding

Happiness
on the faces
of dancing people;
celebrate,
enjoy, elate
the union of a couple.

Music,
so romantic,
love fills the air.
Tears,
washing away fears;
smothered with care.

Fingers,
on your skin linger,
touching you gently;
your eyes
flutter, I fly
into the heavenlies.

You,
only you,
no one else matters;
me,
all I see,
you and I together.

Leave,
I wont leave,
not now, no, never;
But stay,
everyday,
with you forever.

*inspired by Josh and Audrey at their wedding in Ohio

Beckon me

Beckon me, my Saviour, beckon me,
save me from this misery.
Hurt and bruised You were for sin,
hurt and bruised I am within;
I can't understand the world I'm in.
Set me free,
Lord, beckon me!

Beckon me, my Saviour, beckon me,
soothe my heart and carry me,
as did You, the cross You clung;
blood and water shed as You hung.
With pain and sorrow my heart is wrung,
I'm in need,
Lord, beckon me!
