The Father has a drum beat
that one can hear so well.
The accent of His lovely voice
is not so hard to tell.
If you press your ear
against His heart
as you
read His holy word
you'll hear Him
softly speaking
"Child, go to my well,
drink deeply--
I have secret things
for you
worth keeping."
As I drink in deeply
I hear the timbres
of His voice
as strings
in a Celtic Harp.
He woos me
gently
very tenderly
calling me
to do my part.
He says,
"Draw nigh
to Me
and I will
draw nigh
to you."
I know that
this is true.
When I press in
allowing Him
under my skin
(with every fiber
of my being)
I can hear Him
speaking
with His
accented beat
of love;
His strings
of peace.
What is the drum beat
that He hears from me
as I go about my day?
Does He recognize
the seeds
He's planted
along life's
stony way?
Does my voice
tread gently
like the strings
of His Celtic Harp?
Does my heart
beat true--
do I delve in
and do my part?
He can't love me
any more than He
already does...
Yet, I want my voice
to be in tune
with that love,
my actions to flow
with His kindness.
I pray His
tender accent
will show through
in all
I do.
I am longing
to have an accent
like the drum
and a voice like
the harp
for I want
everyone to know
whose child I am.
Footnote: In the third verse about "Drawing nigh," the scripture is taken from James 4:8 (KJV)

Good job.
I'm still jammin' to the beat...

I love the thought of pressing my ear against His heart!
Great job! :)
