Dancing with Jesus
By Holly Fisher August 8, 2014
Walked along with my head held down
Worries and
fears made me frown.
I grumbled and complained –
Could only hear
myself talk.
Yet You stayed with me,
Listened and
smiled as we walked.
My eyes were gazed
at the rocks on
the ground
Oblivious to the fact
You’d not made a
sound.
You listened to my rants
and waited
patiently,
All the while leading me
to a place you
wanted me to see.
Lord, you got my attention when
You took my hand...
Abruptly stopping –
You asked me to
dance.
At these words
I looked up from
the ground,
And in Your eyes
Peace I found.
I took Your hands
And we began to
dance,
Forgetting my cares and circumstance.
Joy filled my heart
And my spirit
had life.
We danced in love
Like husband and
wife.
Gracefully moving
You spun me
around,
I stood amazed,
Not making a
sound.
Lord, even in my distress
You still lead
my steps!
My heart now humbled,
I wept and wept.
For, before my eyes
Was a sight to
behold!
Is what I was
told.
“Don’t give up
From the
struggles of life,
Remember our dance
When you deal
with strife.”
Then You pointed in the direction
You wanted me to
go…
“The journey will teach
What you need to
know.
Remember I’m beside you
Every step of
the way.
I’ll get you back on track
If you wander
astray.
The journey is easier
When we can
dance,
It keeps your eyes
Off your
circumstance.
You’ll enjoy your blessings
Along the way
And less likely
You’ll be lead
astray.
So, are you ready to go
Where the Father
has planned?
Then step out in faith, trust Me
And take My
hand!”
With but a nod of my head
And nothing to
say,
I turned towards the path
As He lead the
way.
I’ll be dancing with Jesus
Trusting He’ll
be my guide.
Believing His promise
To always be by
my side.
