Dancing with Jesus

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!

 “That’s the bigger picture!”

   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.
