Gravitating towards you

nights like these
I am reminded of the greatness of your love
of how to live a humble and holy way of life
making me realize that i've always had the power from inside
the ability to do anything I set my mind on

so I can't help but gravitate towards you

fortunate I am to be in your church
knowing that this is the true faith with no question in my mind
that you are the one and only god
following your commandments lead me to the light
your promises you always keep
with all these reminders, how can I fall
how can my faith grow weak

and for this
I will seek you as I awaken
I will find you in the night
I will search for you as i sleep in bed
in every moment of my life

because living without you oh god would be lonely and meaningless
if I try to imagine days without you
all possibilities lead to emptiness
when i listen to your holy words
I am strengthened and rejuvenated
applying them as i wander in this world
words that give comfort, guidance, and hope
I am truly blest

as I pray to you may you listen to my plea
asking for strength to persevere
help me take the righteous path
among many difficult choices may you make it clear
that everything i do
may it be for your will

as I sing to you
may I sing with all my soul
longing to feel that sensational aura
may my heart and soul coincide as voices fill the air
the melody, the rhythm, lyrics so empowering that it touches my inner self
hopefully i may please you when i give it all i have
this feeling truly proves
how close you are to me

but if ever I would drift away
feeling a bleak winter night engulfing me
pulse beating with such intensity
thoughts that seem uncontrollable
breathing that is rapid
body trembling with fear
no sense of where to go
trapped in tangled wires
may you remember me
and I will run to you
escape to you for you are always there
providing love that is sincere
trust that cannot be shattered
peace that calms a raging sea storm

and although I cannot see you
or use my senses to locate you
I see your work grow like blooming flowers in an endless field
your majestic creations,
the devotion of your people
your church moving forward
and if I simply step back and watch these things
life itself becomes more vibrant.

just as a musician plays an instrument,
a painter paints an artwork,
a poet expresses and explores,
but as your humble servant lord,
I will worship you,
serve you
I will endure and give my all.

so I can't help but gravitate towards you,

because inner peace of mind in you I find
with a purpose to live
and promises I must keep
feeling happy, inspired, motivated,
full of life, energy radiating from within
I feel so complete.
