Lent Calls

Lent calls to me again...

To do what?

Like Martha, I tend towards doing

Doing is something I understand

Chairing a committee

Taking food to the sick

Reading the Bible

Lent calls to me again...

He wants more of me than I've ever given

More than Lenten study

More than giving up dessert

More than extra church services

Lent calls to me again...

He wants more of me and I'm frightened

Frightened of losing control

Frightened of letting go

Frightened of what He might ask me to do if I really listened

Lent calls to me again...

I feel a yearning, a tugging towards something more

Whispers of a love unimaginable

Glimpses of a relationship unshakable

Tastes of a water so clear and sweet that my thirst is slaked forever

Lent calls to me again...

A step is all I can manage, Lord

A hand extended

A head bowed

A conscious placing of myself on your Potter's wheel

Lent calls to me again...

Help me with the hard part, Lord

Help me surrender

Help me abandon myself to you

Help me reconcile myself to you

Lent calls to me again...

Here I am, Lord
