I know where I want it to go
Up not down,
I can't help but wear a frown
Looking up stream,
I start to dream
I see the risen savior,
He says,"Follow Me and you will have favor."
I start to swim up river
It is difficult and cold
I begin to shiver,
I must be strong and bold,
I feel weighted down
It's holding me from my crown
I noticed my hiking boots
Holding me back like roots
I let them fall to the river floor
But realized there was more!
I felt the heavyness of my bill-fold,
I threw it and watched it skip across the waves
That I once wanted, I no longer hold
I see Him wave,
Still calling me with a smile,
But it seemed like another mile
My clothes were last to go
It was just hard to go against the flow
The clothes were wet and cold like me
Without them I felt free
All was lost
I swam intensly without cost
Reaching Him... Cold, naked, and poor...
I had no more.
With love He looked me in the face
Then held me with his warm imbrace
I had obeyed His call,
And now had all.
