Composition #5

Composing...one of the things I do to vent out emotions. It's 10.45PM and my brother's sleeping in my bed, while listening to Josh Groban's songs, I am hoping to come up with a good or better piece. So here goes...

My Rest
by Admiral Ato

In my silence, I find peace
In my clamor, I find release
In my quest to lose myself
I seek no other but Yourself

My selfishness engulfs me
Thy presence humbles me
How long! How long! Shall I rest?
Put an end to my restlessness!

Like sheep, stubborn and complacent
I find humility, Oh when shall I see Your debasement
Will I be ready? Will I be weary?
When without Thee, I toil, I grow jaded...

Just as the heavens await
So shall my spirit anticipate
For You to come, for You to conquer
Vanquish my pursuit, for there's no need to wrangle

When will I leave?
With You...no more shall I cleave!
My benevolence, compassion, and affection...
Take hold of it, for I don't want them, because You are here,
Alive and near...
