The Gift

I have seen the gift
Waiting for it to be mine
Reach out and touch the gift
In your time, it will be mine.

Always comes around, do I trust?
You have promised, I complete my part
Gain your faith your trust
Faithfully I follow from the start.

Your love for me is great
Exceeds all earthly measure
Why do I receive something so great?
How can I return love in equal measure?

I dream of the day
In the fullness of your time
Stepping forth along that glimmering way
You set at the beginning of time.

My focus remains on the goal I see
Guided safely by its light
All the world will know, will see
It was all about the light.

Lead me safely until I receive the gift
And you have made it mine.
Then all will know you are the gift,
All you have for me is mine.
