I love being inspired…

I love that when that happens. When you happen upon some inspiration. Where you read some words and you want to then write some. I stumbled upon some over at the David Crowder Band website… behind dot #4 is a small collection of light bulbs which conceal all sorts of interesting goodies, one of which is titled ‘all this for a king’.

After reading that, this fell out. Ok, there was a little pushing going on too…

this is my offering

for a voice, for a name, the melody from within the flame
for a song, for a King, the words gathered so I can sing

I lift my empty hands up
nothing to offer, nothing to give

I go searching for poetry to somehow prove something to me
but in the end all I want is voice and melody
to have a song to sing
something to bring

You give me more than a reason
you give me a name
word and flame

I lift my hands up
Everything I offer, everything to give

For a voice, for a name, a whispered call from within the flame
for a song, for a king, the words gathered so I can sing

this is my offering
