Rhythm of My Soul

     This is a song I wrote in college.  I stumbled across it last night and thought I would like to share it.  I don't remember the tune, though.  :(

Lord, how do I say what I'm feeling right now?
I'm lonely; I feel like I've lost you somehow.
I long for your arms to hold me so close
that your heartbeat is the rhythm of my soul.

Lord, I long for your voice to calm all of my fears. 
And I long for your hand to dry all of my tears.
I long for your sweet breath to fall on my cheek,
and to rest in your presence, humbled and weak.

     The only part of the song that I've remembered throughout the years is the imagery of being so close to God that his heartbeat is what motivates my soul.  If we all march to the beat of a different drum, I want my drum to be the one pounding in the heart of God.  May his concerns be my concerns, his passions be my passions, his music be my music, his heart be my heart. 

     So close to God that his heartbeat is the rhythm of my soul...that's what I want to be.
