In You (Jesus)

Easter went by so fast yesterday. There is always so much anticipation and preparation that goes into Easter, that it kinda reminds me of Christmas. We so look forward to it and it is over just as fast.

The one big thing I take away from Easter is summed up in one word: submission. Jesus lived a life that was completely submitted and focused on doing the will of God the Father. His heart was completely in tune with the Father’s to where Jesus said He earnestly desired to eat the passover with His disciples. He knew the suffering He was about to face, but He faced the greatest onslaught of temptation probably ever known to man to where it caused Jesus to sweat blood, yet He did not waiver.  

God wants us to willingly give our hearts wholly to Him, but I think that people don’t think they get anything in return. In reality, we receive the greatest gift of all. We receive Him.  I wrote this poem this morning that expresses what I receive by giving myself wholly to Him:

In You

In Your Presence there is peace

In Your Praise there is joy

In Your Word there is power

In Your Love there is forgiveness

In Your Mercy there is a second chance

In Your Eyes there is a burning passion for Your people

In Your Hands there is provision

In Your Feet there is a firm foundation

In Your Arms there is comfort

In Your Nostrils is the Breath of Life

In Your Shadow there is rest

In You I find what I need.

In You is the answer to every prayer.

In You is the hope of every dream.

In You is my acceptance, validation, and confirmation.

In You are the beginning and ending of my days.

In You is the song I so desperately want to sing.

In You is a love I find so hard to put into words.

In You is the truth that stands through the test of time

In You is the strength to climb every mountain

In You
