One of my favorite songs is "There's A Stirring" by Caedmon's Call. I love that the song can be so simple yet so rich at the same time...and the words resonate with me. I wrote this poem based on the song about ten years ago. And for some reason, it's come to mind today.
There’s a stirring deep within me
a terrifying yet exhilarating numbness and weariness that drain my strength and bring me to my knees
Could it be my time has come when I’ll see my gracious Savior face to face
in a new place, in a new time, in a new ministry
When all is done. Is that His voice I am hearing, “Come away
from what you’ve held dear for so long
My precious one.”
my chosen one
Is He calling me? Is He
really
Calling me? I will rise up
rise up?
And bow down
in complete submission, humility, and surrender
And lay my crown
the symbol of all that I’ve worked to create, of all that I’ve overcome and experienced, of all the ways in which I’ve grown and all of the things that I’ve learned and all of the ways that I’ve loved, of all that I hold dear, of the status and importance that I’ve gained in the eyes of so many and the comfort that lies within
At His wounded feet
that stand ready to move me forward into glory greater than I’ve ever known.
