Your presence,
Your glory,
Your fame.
Bring it to this room, to this soul!
Your Grace pours down on my head
it covers me so wholly, I can't comprehend.
I petition your presence in this place.
Your Awesome Power
I will not hide from.
I will find joy in you.
Lord I ask for You tonight.
Encompass me with
Your arms,
Renew a burning fire of
Passion in my soul!
A fire that only You can control.
A fire that will overtake this world.
Lord bring that Fire to this place!
Engulf me Lord
day after day!
Show me more of You
more of Your Love & Power.
Lord cover me, drown me, engulf me
in all that You are.
Lord I cast away my
sins & pride & selfishness.
I give them to You,
so You may enter this place.
So You may enter this soul.
Transform me with Your presence.
Transform this soul, this room,
with Your Righteousness.
Bury me & let yourself
shine through.
I need more of You and so much less of me.
Bury my selfish desires deep Lord!
Only You can deliver me from myself,
Lord be here with me tonight
So I may truly see You,
experience You,
be engulfed by You.
So I may know my One True Love
more dearly.
Lord, bring Your presence to this place!

Wow Danielle! Praise the Lord for your desperation to really know Jesus and meet him in the quiet place. Just you and Jesus! Shallow faith is the biggest threat to our generation and from the last two poems I've just read there's nothing shallow about your love for God at all!
God wants us to go so deep with him. We really can't comprehend it! That is how the whole Bible came to be! Men and women of God who knew God deeply, interacted with Him daily, sacrificed everything joyfully because His presence makes it worth the thunder of every trial and temptation. This is salvation and it starts right here and now. Jesus said in John 17:3 "And this is eternal life, that they may know You, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom you have sent."
Knowing God personally, intimately, experientially, meeting with him daily in prayer, desperation, supplication, revelation! There's nothing better! It completely obliterates shallow living and spurs us into a love relationship that carries us right into eternity itself. "For now we see in a mirror dimly, but then face to face." Just to imagine that when we close our eyes in this world, we shall open them to be with Christ. No words can describe how wonderful it will be when our sins are stripped away and we shall see Him as He is. I can wait!
In the last line I meant to say, " I can't wait." ;)
I can't wait either! Thank you for all of your encouraging words. :)
