The Calling Star by Jeff Bidiman In the slumbering seas of comforting night I beheld the heavens, and to my delight, A lone bright star shone down on me With illuminating beauty. I marveled at this wondrous sight Glowing with celestial light When something stirred inside of me, A feeling fighting to break free. Unprepared to let it out, I quickly turned myself about. I was not ready to explore The one thing I was searching for. Yet there it was, night after night, Calling from an impossible height. Beckoning to my skittish spirit, Until at last my heart could hear it. In what seemed a somber dream, I knelt beneath that burnished beam. Praying to the Lord above To bless me with His flawless love. In silent supplication, I wept As if my lifelong pain had crept From the corners of my eyes To view that star up in the skies. Each tear that trickled down my face Took with it an old disgrace That I carried deep inside The chambers of my worldly pride. Then in this meek and weakened state, All my fears could not abate The peacefulness those tears set free Beneath a star that beckoned me. This broken man will now relate, That if you humbly supplicate, God will grant you what you need, And your spirit shall be freed. |
