HAPPY FIRST OF THE MONTH HEIRESSES! THIS ABSTRACT PIECE IS CALLED I CRY...HOW MANY TIMES HAVE WE CRIED FOR HIM? WHO IS HE, YOU ASK? WELL READ AND SEE....I CRY....
I CRY
ITS VERY NORMAL
RARELY PEOPLE NOTICE ITS ABSENCE
YET I DO AND ASK THIS QUESTION
BUT WHY DEAR LORD HAVE I NOT CRIED
I SMILE INSIDE
BUT OUTWARD SIGH
AND ASK THE QUESTIONS
BURIED DEEP INSIDE
FROM IMPACT, ATTACK TO THE POTENTIAL HORRIFIC SUBTRACT
I SEE THE OPEN FIELD OF DESTRUCTION AND DISDAIN
YET INSIDE MY HEART HAS BEEN WANE
BUT UPON MY FACE NO STREAKS FROM THE STRAIN
WHEN MY FEET ENTER THE HOUSE
OF WHICH I HAVE NOT BEEN PRESENT
I FEEL A FLUTTER AND BEGAN TO MUTTER
AND PRAISE
COULD THIS BE A POSSIBLE WELL
IN THE OUTSIDE CORNER OF MY EYES
HE ALONE HAS THE CENTER STAGE IN MY MIND
THE ONE WHO HATETH STRIFE
ALLOWS ME TO OPEN MY EYES DAILY, MUCH TO MY DELIGHT
YES HE IS POWERFUL AND HIS WORD IS HIS LAW
AND I RECALL
AND I REMAIN
AND I LIFT MY HANDS WITHOUT SHAME
I NOTICE MY FEET RISE
MY HIPS TWIST
THIS IS A RETURN NOT A VISIT
YET CONGREGATIONAL COMMUNION MAKES MY SOUL CHURN
MY HEART HAS THE FAMILIAR YEARN
TO LISTEN, LAUGH, GIVE, AND LEARN
IN HIM I DO TRUST
I HAVE NO DESIRE TO STOP, CEASE, NOR FEAR
THE CANKER WARM AND LOCUSTS ALL FEEL LEER
HE IS MY JOY
IN FACT MY MOVEMENTS QUICKEN
MY THROAT THICKENS
AND I RECALL
THE ONE,
HE HAD IT ALL
YET GAVE IT FOR FREE
TO SAVE A LOST SOUL LIKE ME
AND FINALLY RIGHT THEN AND THERE
KNOWING NO ONE CAN COMPARE
I CRY OUT THANK YOU THAT MY SOUL HE DID SPARE
