H E R E I A M : A Sacred Encounter

Here I am, Lord 
I’ve come to meet with You. 
I don’t care how You come, Lord
Just... that... You do.

I’m barely hanging on these days
I’m lonely, tired, afraid. 
It’s been awhile since I’ve heard from You,
I miss Your voice… your face.

I’ve learned of You 
I’ve known of You 
But I’m desperate to
Encounter You. 

So 

Here I am, Lord 
I’ve come to meet with You. 
I don’t care how You come, Lord
Just... that… You do. 

I don’t care if it’s quiet 
I don’t care if it’s loud 
I don’t care if it’s inside these four walls
Or somewhere so far out.

You can show up unexpected 
You can arrive unannounced
You can come and surprise me
In a burning bush, on holy ground.

You can let me see Your face 
Or hide as You pass by 
You could be in an earthquake 
Or a whisper, or a pillar of fire. 

I’m here with no plans, no agenda
No formulas, no rules.
 
I just want to be with You. 

        

My child, 
Here I AM 
I’ve come to meet with you. 
I don’t care how you come to Me,
Just… that... you do.

You can come angry 
Anxious 
Lonely, tired, afraid. 

Distracted 
Disillusioned 
Disappointed 
Disengaged. 

Here I AM my child, 
I’ve come to meet with you. 
I don’t care how you come, beloved
Just… that... you do.  

You can be quiet 
You can be loud
You can be scattered or hurried or worried. 
This is ALL sacred ground.

Here I AM, beloved one 
I’ve come to meet with you.
I don’t care how you come, my child.

I just want to be with you.
