LET ME KNOW YOU FIRST

I asked God

don’t let me leave, not yet,

not until my heart

knows You without regret.

Not just by name,

not just in prayer,

but truly, deeply,

with every tear.

Let me feel You

in the silence I keep,

in the nights I break,

and the days I weep.

So if I must go,

let it be known

I found You

before I made it home.
