Nov 3.98: Light For The Day - "The Artist"

"For the gifts and the call of God are irrevocable."
-- Romans 11:29 (RSV)

"The Artist"

Gentle brush across my spirit
Just to let me know,
Gentle pull within me, 
Deep within my soul.

Brushes out a picture, 
Utter peace and calm,
Wonder why it’s taking,
Taking me so long.

To recognize the call 
Open up my ears,
Soothing voice calling
Calling for years and years.

Haven deep within me, 
Safety from the storm,
Place of creativity 
Where all these things are born.

From that place of safety
I can hear the call,
Calling there forever, 
Hear it above the howl.

Deep within my spirit,
Can you hear it?
Call?
Calling out day and night,

Sings to you and me,
Times I’m not precisely 
Where I ought to be,
I can hear Him, 

Calling unto me.
Place of peace and calm, 
Utter clarity,
Always hear it, 

In my spirit, 
Calling unto me.
Times I try to ignore it, 
Won’t you let me be?

Doesn't stop or Faze Him, 
Keeps calling unto me.
Not willing to give me up,
Nor to let me go,
Feels the same about you,
Thought I'd let you know.
