Your word in my heart is like a burning fire

Day Eleven

Constant Conversation

Your word within my heart is like a burning fire

Shut up in my bones it sings like a choir

The still small voice and the shout that rings clear

Speak Lord your servant who you call friend hears

My unspoken groanings you still understand

You answer on the tablet of my heart with your hand

You tell me your passions and my dreams are filled

You hear my cries even when my tongue lies still

Your name speaks peace to me

My breath speaks praise to you.

There’s this constant conversation in my heart.

Your words ring in my mind

And I respond in kind

In this constant conversation of which I am a part.

I’ll pray without ceasing, I’ll pray all the time

I listen for answers or sayings sublime

I will meditate day and night on what you’ve said

I’ll treasure your words more than my daily bread.

I would share your secrets as precious and true

I would be transformed, think your thoughts after you

I want to hear from you and be heard in return

Our friendship will blossom if I do what I learn

Your word instructs and guides

Your word reveals and resides

In the intimacy of my secret place

In my songs and in My prayers

All my secret thoughts and cares
