How Do I Approach You?...A poem by Rosemary

How Do I approach You?

How do I approach you Lord?
Do I come as a little child?
Trustingly, as to a loving parent
Climbing upon your knee      
Trusting that your
Perfect, mighty, tender love
Will shield, protect and keep me

Or 

Do I come as to an awesome king?
Bowing in submission and reverence
At the throne of a mighty conquering warrior
Trusting that your
Perfect, mighty, tender love
Will shield, protect and keep me

Or

Do I come as a bride to her husband?
Sharing each others’ hearts
In deep and intimate ways
Trusting that your
Perfect, mighty, tender love
Will shield, protect and keep me

Or

Do I come with hidden face?
In awe before the powerful creator
The very author and giver of life
Trusting that your
Perfect, mighty, tender love
Will shield, protect and keep me

How do I approach you Lord?

You are all these things and more
You are beyond my understanding
You are unique
Your love is perfect
Reaching, satisfying every need of human heart

How do I approach you Lord?

I approach you as my God
Trusting that your
Perfect, mighty, tender love
Will shield, protect and keep me.
