I WANT
We all have needs and strong desire
Our natures such this is our drive
This quest of ours will take us higher
Or maybe just keep us alive
It seems the thirst can not be quenched
Our needs once met produce two more
We strain and toil till sweat has drenched
Though rich and full we still feel poor
The ceaseless call to gather more
Constructs the chains that seem to bind
Our prison cell immortal chore
Offers no relief of mind
At times we dream of freedoms feel
To want no more and be content
Some how though it does not seem real
To end the task that Source had sent
The inner push to grow and change
Has caused us to create this space
Desire, has led us to arrange
All particle that’s in this place
It seems to keen observant eye
This dance may have been by design
Our world and all that pass us by
Could not have been prepared so fine
As we observe both then and now
By chance to gaze at what is to be
The truth of being is just how
This is the world we’re meant to see
The Point from all desires birth
The source of want and its supply
Has laid this plan and gird its worth
Ensured creation does not die
The Grand I AM has set this motion
As intent to know all that is
Experiencing both land and ocean
Enjoying mine and yours as His
Without desire we have no creation
Wanting has been good for all
Each life, and land and spacious nation
Are here as answers to our call
Our wanting may at times confuse
Driving peace just out of reach
Realizing we’ve been made to use
As tools for God, whose lessons teach
Desire’s such choice yields creation
There would be no here without this song
I AM expands without cessation
Confirming want cannot be wrong.
