On Writing....

In 2007 I jumped off a cliff and decided to do a CD of some original songs.  Along came Sister Grace and a flurry of exciting things for us.  We've been sort of on stand by due to some events in our lives and I'm missing those days.  I'm wanting to dig out my guitar and get off on a tree stump somewhere and  howl!  I was reading a blog by Sara Beth Fair earlier this morning and was so inspired.  She's not only a gifted artist but an excellent and inspired writer.  It made me think of the time that I was heavily into writing for our CD and how close I felt to God during those days.  Some of the words that came were definitely gifts from Him and I felt inspired this morning to post this one...  thanks to my dear friend Whit who helped me bring this one to life, we need to do some more writing...
I Keep Calling Out Your Name 
Hello it's me again
I hope you’re listening today 
I've tried to talk to you before and you've ignored me
But I keep coming back anyway 
Seems like I would give up
But I'm you’re God and I am offering my love

I keep calling out your name
In your joy and in your pain 
All I ask is that you call back to me

I’ve always been your friend
I know the treasures in your heart
The stories gathered there 
And I've prepared some things 
That you've not seen so far 
Walk with me and believe 
And we’ll solve some mysteries
You know I am the source

I keep calling out your name
In your joy and in your pain 
All I ask is that you call back to me

I see you try and make it on your own
Saying you don’t need Me
But wouldn’t you feel better in My arms 
All it takes is you believing 

I keep calling out your name
In your joy and in your pain 
All I ask is that you call back to me
