As lovers do

You are lovely again today, Lord
But maybe I don't have anything to say
Maybe I've nothing new to add about
Your immeasurable strength
Your unfailing intimacy
Your glittering righteousness
Those things are real and they're mine
And I'm grateful

I'm also weary
And my pen needs refreshing:
It needs to be washed
In the murmur of your thousand springs
Rejuvenated by a fresh revelation
Of your majesty:
Your lofty throne eons beyond my home
But shining bright inside and around me

I'm resisting the temptation
To tell you I've found a problem
And the solution
That I know what needs to change
That I've done my part
But I know that road
And I know the next step
Is accusing you of abandoning me

So let's stay, you and I
Right here
Where we know that you're God
And capable of anything
And I'm a tired human
Inclined to believe he's being left
And let's sit
And speak as lovers do
Until I fall asleep
