When I Leave You 
 
Your whisper is soft, 
It I long to hear. 
I listen for it how oft? 
All the time when I stay near. 

I know at times I drift aside, 
And put You below first. 
I try to keep up with Your strides, 
Because it is for You that I thirst. 

when I go astray, 
My life becomes a mess. 
That is the price I pay, 
When I leave You, I confess. 

I know You're always with me, 
Keeping Your hand upon my shoulder, 
Guiding me to light so I can see, 
Making my world warmer, not colder. 

For by this I continue to grow in You, 
As the Holy Spirit moves through me. 
For each day starts anew, and 
I will bow down at Your knee.
