A Dog and his Master
I want to love you like a dog loves his master
I wish to be loyal to you in the same way
Feed me as a master feeds his dog
Confine me and free me at your whim
Shelter me with your comfort
Discipline me, and bless me
Love me as a master loves his dog
lift me up when I stumble
Hug me and pet me, scratch my back to bring me joy
I will be loyal to you - die for you
I will love you more than anything
I will eagerly await you each day
Jump on on you and kiss you as if i thought you'd never come back
I promise to come back each time I wander off
Come after me when I do
Bring me back into the shelter
Discipline me because you love me
Show me what is right
Speak to me softly and be near me
Let me be a dog to you, oh Father God
Raise me and teach me to be loyal & loving
Beyond my reason or strength
If only the mere sight of you would be the best part of my day
Then I would know what to do - who to be
Light a fire inside my soul to burn out the bitterness, pride, anger and sadness
Let that fire consume me and burn away all the iniquity so that finally what is left, is a dog excited to see his master.
