Rekindle Me

Starsha Brown (2004)
There is an anxious and unsettled yearning beneath this skin
The hours are days and weeks gone by.
How shall the end begin?
Memories glisten in the sullen tears as they trace a way to freedom
Hastily they're wiped away,
Quick, before someone sees them!
Nothing's clearer than the love that set my soul on fire
Yet instead of tending it,
I let the flame retire.
Burning coals within me glow, yearning to ignite
Hoping for a passing chance to illuminate the night
Wearisome this life becomes from time to time
What could give my down an up,
A purpose to my rhyme?
Nothing stirs my slumbering heart like the love my Savior gives
No matter where this sheep strays off to,
He's willing to forgive
Renew my spirit, Father, please!
With you I long to stay
Don't let the embers of my joy turn to an ashen grey
Hold me Jesus, close to you
Help me take a stand
I don't always understand this place,
But I know you have a plan.
