To Meet With God ***, Rondeau Options

[JustDaniel]

To Meet With God

To meet with God in worship, I
bow down to lift my voice and cry
out, Holy Lord... I know Your rod
of justice humbles me, who's flawed.
Your grace is in the morning sky.

I need Your Word so I'll apply
it to my heart and to You fly
with friends who meet, though we're too blah'd
to meet with God.

I say, Hello and do not lie,
I'm glad to see you! But I sigh,
I need some quiet to be awed...
a moment just to rest my bod.
I've mostly come here to draw nigh
to meet with God.

Thank you for your thoughtful visit, Ali.

Yes, I often tend to write with informal language, and the reason that I do that is that most folks these days talk in it, and it is my desire to communicate in the language of the street.

The awkward language that you point to is absolutely correct. I was aware of the awkward inversion, but I'm working on a better way to say it within the bounds of the form. Perhaps it will come to me.

deLighting in your sharing, Daniel
