Poem/song 1

Dead Dad in Heaven

I want to love you, I need your love
Like a father cuddling his son, telling him it's going to be ok
Protect me father
Hold me in your arms
Cradle me as a child

I've pretended to be a man
Fought the enemies' battles for him
Pushed through
Kicked and screamed
Achieved and lost

Now before you
I realize I've gained nothing
I must lose it all to gain you
I need you
In transition I'm vulnerable
I'm weak

You can make me strong
You can lift me up
You are love - true
You are joy- true

Fill me up for I am empty
Give me strength where I have none
Clothe me for I am cold
Carry me for I am tired
Lift me for I am fallen

Teach me to love you and nothing else
Show me so I can imitate

I will know you through your word
I will imitate you by your deeds
I will die to you...for you

Raise me up from death
Shine your light upon me
-through me

Make yourself my pillar
My Rock
My Evermore

Break me
Shattered onto the cross
Strengthen me to carry it
So I can be with you

Amen
