Poetry Sunday: Sit Here at Your Feet

Sit Here at Your Feet

By Effie Darlene Barba

IMG_7138Oh, Father Dear

I long to come

And sit here at your feet

As you draw near

Before the dawn

Your presence oh so sweet

 

What kind of fool

Have I been  all these years?

That I would be

The source that caused your tears

 

With arms raised high

I asked for so much stuff

I did not see

That You, You are enough

 

My Precious, Lord

You are the one

The  one my heart does need

My life restored

By your Dear Son

Who for my sin did bleed

 

And here I am

 Unworthy of your love

Yet, still you called

To me from high above

 

To be your child

To sit here at your feet

To rest in you

And never see defeat

 

Oh, Father Dear

I long to come

And sit here at your feet

As you draw near

Before the dawn

Your presence oh so sweet
