Dancing in the Twilight

Dancing in the twilight,

As the start begin to shine

Resting in the beauty

Of the God who made it mine

Dancing in the softness

Of the perfection of it all

Dancing with my Jesus

In the beauty of His call

I feel your love surround me

I understand it deep inside

I know that I can trust you

Because you have never lied

I am so blinded in this world

I know I don’t see fully

But Jesus you are my anchor

To you I give myself wholly

Questions come unbidden

Conversation starts to flow

How do I serve you Jesus

What does it mean to follow

My child I ask for surrender

To follow me is to give it all

You must give up everything

To really follow my call

Dancing abruptly stops

As the words hit my heart

I know that I cannot give it all

I wouldn’t know where to start

What about my identity

The acceptance that I fight for

What about my life, my job

The goals I push so hard for

What about my friends

That I so desperately need

What about the things I love

That make my heart bleed

I cannot give up everything

No matter how much I try

I realize my humanity

And I drop my head and cry

It something I cannot do

Discouragement fills my being

I slowly walk away

From the only one I am needing

I realize I am not fit to be there

As tears roll down my face

I see my failures and inadequacies

And I sadly leave that perfect place

But Jesus calls after me

Don`t do this on your own

I have made a way for you

You are not alone

He takes me and holds me

In his wonderful embrace

He says He will never leave me

He will help me win this race

And I realize it is not impossible

With my Jesus holding me

He has given me empowerment

And opened my eyes to see

That giving up my everything

Cannot even begin to compare

To the glory of His presence

And the love he wants to share

Dancing in the twilight,

As the stars continue to shine

Resting in the beauty

Of the God who made it mine

Dancing in the softness

Of the perfection of it all

Dancing with my Jesus

In the beauty of His call
