Not for me

the roaring thunder

for you know

I would run a mile

 

but all the while

 

you lead me 

gently

whispering

slowly

step by step

 

to 

face

the place

my heart

breaks

aches

shakes

 

for You

 

Not for me

the roaring thunder

for you know

I would turn

my ear

in fear

of what you'd say

 

but instead

you lead me

with your

gentle voice

 

it is here

 

I kneel

yield

and

make my choice
