Thinking of you, God,
Watching me
I don’t mind you
Watching over me,
But I get scared
When you come close
I’ve heard you
Speak out loud to me—
Not many can say that
And I don’t take it lightly
But somehow it seemed easy
And didn’t scare me at all—
Maybe you did that to me
So I wouldn’t run
But listen to your call
I know it sounds crazy
But you scare me
I know you made me
And I’m okay with you
Up on that Moses Mountain
But not the way you’re near me now
Don’t frighten me by staring—
Talk or illumine a page
The way you did
When I was seventeen
But don’t make me crazy, God,
By watching me so closely.
