The Center of my Heart

Oh don't go far from the center of my heart.
That is where you belong.
Right in the center of my being, the most intimate part.
My Savior, my song,
That is right where you belong.

I may sometimes sing for another
But you are my deepest Lover.
The one who breathes air in my lungs
I've climbed the ladders rungs
And there is no where I'd rather be
Then where you would have me.

I want to be right smack center of your will
Oh that I might fulfill
The purpose and identity
That you would have for me.

The road may not be easy,
My stomach might get queesy
My fingernails greasy
Dirty and tired I come
That I might go amongst the trenches
And share your love with a lost and dirty world.

This is my calling and this is my place
It cannot be done in hast.
Oh to share your love and heart
With those who feel ripped apart.

Send me to the tough places.
Send me to the rough places.
I know that is where you are
And that is where I want to be.

You and Me.
Together forever.
Me and You
Without you I am nothing.

So fill me up and pour me out
You are my water, you are my spout.

The Man Without a Name

Who do I write these poems for?
The man without a name.
Will I ever know who you are?
Will you give me a sign?
Will you add music to my rhyme?

I wonder who you are.
Are you near or far?
Are your eyes blue brown or green?
Are you always nice or sometimes mean?

Are you what you appear
Or more than can be seen?
Are you serious, sarcastic, or funny?
Are you clever, witty, or punny?

Are you quiet or loud?
Are you short or tall?
Can you give me any clue at all?

Come on give me a sign in the sky.
Write your name in the cloud
So I'll know the answer to the why
And can scream real loud.

Don't give up waiting for me.
I'm waiting for you
Just like my neighbor waits in the afternoon
I'll be seeing you someday soon.

A Love that Is Willing to Lose

What's behind that twinkle in his eye?
Is there truth,Or a lie?
Are you really my friend?
Will you be there in the end?

Love isn't based on what you can do for me.
No, it shouldn't be.
Love says, "I'll lay down my life."
"I'll say what's true even if it cuts like a knife."

It is not hearts and rainbows
It is steadfast in the highs and lows.
So before you give your heart away
Remember what I say.

Be careful what road you choose.
Sometimes in order to find true love
You must be willing to lose
Your way, your control, your pride.
You must not hide.

Let go of all your know
And you will grow.
Choose a different way
and Christ, who is your life,
Will tell you what to say.
