The fisherman: Discipleship and Harvesting

I Whisper to You

Whispering your name
I come to you
My child
Gently asking you
To let me take your life
And make it over anew.

I know that you struggle and fight
Within yourself
I know that you want to love me
But you find it so hard -
Believe in me again
And I'll make it over anew. 

Don't you think
That I don't understand ?
I know your problems
And I know the answers too -
Just give them all to me -
You don't need to worry any more.

 

Don't be ashamed.
I know you don't
Like to be who you are
But that's not the real you -
The one I want is deep inside -
Don't be ashamed.

You are a failure,
But let me have it all
And together, you and I,
It won't matter anymore.
Didn't anybody tell you -
With me you have all you need.

Whispering your name
I come to you
My child,
Gently asking you
To let me take your life
And make it over anew.
