Wanted to share something from the heart of dear sister Ruth Graham:
Dusty my soul tonight Earth has been dear. Bewildered, I come to you, Father God, hear. Idols that charm me, Dreams that allure, pains that alarm me, suspense to endure, memories that linger, thoughts that ensnare, a heart that is aching, all crumpled with care, Unsatisfied, restless, scarce able to pray--- everything, everything take it away. Only You, none but You, Jesus alone; ashes the rest to me, songs with a groan, take them each one away-- mind not my tears Lift me above this earth's cares and its fears, Give me Yourself alone nothing else beside So I will be with you, content, satisfied!!

I have no other I can go to But theres no other that I need So when my heart feels so alone Teach me to only look to Thee
Brothers, sisters You have given Your blessed body on this earth But more so than the church of Jesus I need the Jesus of the church
If I cant find You in the Word When prayer and worship seem so dry And my hearts breaks with longing for You Will You come and dry my eyes
The ground is watered with my tears Each one proclaims my love for You But though I weep my life away It shall not hinder my pursuit
A raging fire has been ignited A passion somewhere deep within I have begun a quest to find You And reclaim first love again
And so this burning drives me onward To know You in a deeper way To have my life transformed into A place Your glory is displayed
