GHOST

GHOST

Knock knock, anybody home?

Hello hello you said

Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye you meant

Ships passing each other by.

A ghost you were,

A ghost you have been

And a ghost you will remain. 

A love hoped for; yet not ready to be grasped.

The waiting has been long

Faith dried up; hope deferred makes the heart sick

And want to settle for less

and stop trusting for the best

Oh my soul, don't sell yourself short

Don't fall for the lie, or settle for crumbs

Don't forget who and whose you are

Loved, cherished; bought with a price 

Return to your first love;

Let your heart hope and feel

A love that is faithful, a love that is real

Goodbye a knife to the heart

A dream that must die

Yet I'm no Juliet, and my life no tragedy 

I live on the mountain of Jehovah-Jireh 

I choose to trust Emmanuel 

and say goodbye Mr Ishmael

I choose to wait for my Isaac,

who will make me laugh, hold me when I cry

Be here for the good, the bad, the ugly and the ordinary 

I choose to trust and become intertwined

With the one who holds all time

In Him who appears in my storm ridden night

He remains faithful, He remains real

Even if you remain a ghost
