Climbing the Heights

All for you

All for you
May it ever be
When none other can
Truly see

What pain
What guilt
Where ere my heart
Hath spilt

So there you remain
In my loneliness
In my sorrow
Constant and comfort
Abound in you

In these moments
I "create"
You are there
Giving breath
Giving life
To each movement

When in failing
Or in wailing
When in joy
And gladness
Through them all
You remain
Steadfast

How ere this breath
May last
You always
Shall remain

None can see me
As you do
None fully
Understands
All that you do

When world escape
And heavens quake
You carry me
On the clouds above
You shield me
In your love

As I fall into your arms
May I rest
And rejoice
That you
Indeed you
Shall never fade
From view

Earnestly I pursue
In all things
Desire I you

And at every turn
Still my heart doth yearn
And always there
Before the thought or prayer

I stumble and surrender
All is lost and found
On this solid ground
Twill remain
For all eternity

-Joshua Lee Foist
