Find Your Voice

So, everything I've been hearing for the past week - from a leadership conference, to a birthday dinner, to several messages I heard on Sunday, have all had something to do with the theme of finding your voice. I found it very interesting, because I was thinking about some poems I wrote, and I was just wondering about this one I wrote about a year ago, where it was and if I should brush it off and add it to my collection. After last weekend, I was determined, so here it is...

Find Your Voice

Why so silent

My precious one?

You are wonderful

So precious,

Created to sing

To speak

To whisper

To shout

To be heard!

Find your voice

And let your joy find its way

To encourage, to comfort

To love.

Oh, my heart sings

So full of joy

Full of my glorious one.

Find your voice!

What you’ve done so far

All you’ve said

Are simply shadows,

Echoes, really,

Of the glory inside of you.

Touch your heart,

Open it up and pour out

Everything you have!

Find your voice

My intimate lover.

The power and glory and majesty

That is in you,

That IS you

Boiling to come out

To overflow out onto those

Who are starving and thirsty

For who you are.

So open your mouth,

Find your voice

Speak the Word

Sing praises

Shout your love.

My precious, glorious one

My darling among maidens,

My dove, my perfect one.

My Bride.
