I want what I desire
What I have dreamed of my whole entire life
I want what I want
Because I deserve it after a lifetime of work
I want to be great things
And do great things for others
Why, oh why lord, wont you let me do that
-----------------
Great things are often found in the opposite of what we want
They often present themselves within what we have lost
In what has been denied to us
Because truly great things my child are seen in what is done for others
Love is sacrificial, never is it selfish
Its very nature dictates it can never be so
As is its extent to be satisfied in being expressed in you
Its purpose will reflect its inherent nature apart from the desire of whom it resides in
Do you accept this or not?
------------------
I do understand this Lord
Do not think I do not love you
I will follow where you lead
But why must I always be the loser?
Why can I not serve you fully and receive just once what my heart desires
Did you not gift me with this for a reason?
How can this talent that speaks your name not be a good thing?
When will I be able to be vindicated as my enemies have been so often before my very eyes?
I do not understand Lord
-------------------
I will give you the desire of your heart
But as your heart was once stone, it is today flesh in my hand
And the desire of your heart is now the will of mine
I love you son
And because of this, just as your earthly father has told you so often
Today the answer may be "no" for your sake
What father who loves his son does not do what is best for him
And is what is best, always answering "Yes" to every request?
And if I say no to you now
No you cannot go there son because I need you to be elsewhere
And if love is the cause of this decision
Will you bow to love or to want?
You want to see great things then first see another before yourself
Sacrifice, as love does, your desire for another's need
Be where you do not want to be for the sake of another's heart
For this act might just save a single child
And if this should occur in the loss of all you desire
Will you be able to say that your life meant nothing?
Could you not then see that in that one person your life has meant everything?
Because to them it has
I have heard the expression of the Word once told like this
"He spread His arms out wide, and then He died for you"
And whether it is apparent to the reader or not, on that very day
He wished he could have been somewhere else
He hoped another cup was His to drink
The Son of Man was even scared...and very sad
But He did it
He saw it through for the sake of you
The hill disappeared and the wood grew light
Because all He saw was you
So, for your sake and the sake of all others you will touch
Please ask yourself this question...
Where would you be today, if that day....I would have chosen to be somewhere else?
