All You Ever Wanted

a psalm

God no matter how I turn my back on you
You persist existing as you always do
Always listening sometimes answering me
While others refuse me as they confuse me

I want to go home as much as anyone
But it has been I never knew where to go
And remember what they call reality
Tells me I can never go there even so

If I went I wonder if you would be there
I want you to be and I want you to know
If so I am with you there as everywhere

The dream of becoming is becoming true
In the now as I become as anyone
Being in the now and with a soul to spare

I wanted some action I wanted to be
Here and here I am getting what I wished for
With all the doors open and all the lights on

You gave what I have but give me one thing more
Spark my humanity with divinity
Understanding each other we bring the dawn
I want to go home as much as anyone

God no matter how I turn away from you
You are at the center and are always there
Where all of my turning becomes returning
A homecoming without going anywhere

You insist on existing and that I too
Embrace this experience both of us share
Always listening sometimes answering me

And looking back now maybe it was always
That you answered me if it is you who do
Those things getting done without being begun
Things though in doubt I believe you know about

As one who has been with me and watched me says
I only noticed sometimes you were the one
But that you were always there as everywhere
If so I am with you everywhere as there

Could it be you never turned your back on me?
Spark my humanity with divinity
Understanding each other we bring the dawn
I want to go home as much as anyone

You are at the center and are always there
Where all of my turning becomes returning
A homecoming without going anywhere

You gave what I have but give me one thing more
An open relationship bringing the dawn
With all the doors open and all the lights on

Lord of the earth below the sky above me
In the now of our encounter face to face
I experience the freedom of your grace
That all you ever wanted was to love me
