I Circle Back to Thee

Aaran: Let sleeping lilies lie, come what may
Each season has its time
In a field of gold blossoming, promises of spring
Of quality delights, yet but one is mine
Selected at their prime
Time is of such essence, render my heart s-t-i-l-l
Enamoured by this quest
O’er craggy hills, set on high
A myriad of mountains, piercing the sky
Through valleys of low, sifting through the land
A humble search within, of untold promises
Of whom is it I seek?
With the choicest picks of many
A fresh vineyard of plenty
Of room for such bold gallantry

Pearl: If nature tells a tale, is it such truth that I will seek
Of incomparable promises, adoration from above
A sacred lavished love, freely unconditional
Let righteousness prevail
A redirected ship sets sail
To steer towards his ways
Lest I avert love’s true course
A freewill field of freedom
With the choicest picks of many
A fresh vineyard of plenty
Yet a tarnished trail, leads to solemn ruin

Aaran: With renewed clarity, I’ll endeavour to please
Yet only one can appease, unwholesome ways
Bless my earnest days
In seeking you
Of desiring truth
Draw me back to you
Present wonders and clues
Yet of whom could fathom
Of my own understanding
Dare I leaneth not
To acknowledge truly the king of kings
Yet will my offering be pleasing to thee?
With a patchwork of progress
Yet to digress!
Misguided in the mix
Would thou now fix
To so fill a void
Of actions mistimed
Such an opportune time
Yet in this vineyard of plenty
I have selected not

Pearl: With vivid retrospection, beyond a quick glance
To recapture redirection
Choices not to my betterment
Such steps lead to a
F
A
L
L
A calling forth to consciousness
A gentle quiet voice
To hasten towards unfolding arms
Re-establish the connection
My Sovereign protection
My keeper, my guide
Of unharnessed energy
Be rechannelled set me free
No longer captive, twas lost – now found
Now replanted on solid ground
Such land is lush, fertile for growth
The gift of grace, bestowed on me
Yet interlaced with love for me
Search my heart
Explore the depths of my soul
Of a contrite spirit, a new heart in me
A catalyst for change, rearrange my compartments
Renovate from within
With purposeful living
Let it be so declared
Replanted in the vineyard
Encircled in care

Aaran: Where is my equal, of mirrored completeness?
Rare unwinding roads, let me venture to find
With cascades of choice
Yet a still small voice
Calls me back to thee
To search so diligently
Of the selection
Beyond our protection
A compromised yield – from a field of choice
Of qualities unqualified
A diminished light
Yet captured in your sight
I could run ahead, but a thousand miles
With aims to hide
Strayed from the path
Yet you would find me!
Like whispering leaves – you follow me!
I am your child
“Draw back to me”
Such energy spent
A tent of retreat

Pearl: If I am yours and you are mine
Here engrafted into the vine
With offers of replenishment
Drawn towards a living well
In essence to thirst, for a fragrant spring
From the wilderness, lest I return
With all that I yearn
I give to you!
There are no secrets hidden from view
You know my thoughts
You know my ways
You have carried me through all of my days
Sunlit rays of hope shines through
A maker of all things new
Apart from you – bereft of truth
Of magnitude
In wondrous awe of all you do
I surrender all to you

 

Aaran: Let their be none of me, but all of you
Without your workmanship – I build in vain
No substance of change
Effort exhaustion
To bear no truth
Outside of your will, no perfection of peace
Fruitful production will cease
Of majestic wonders, your sovereignty reigns
Your craftsmanship unparalleled
Emboldened tower of excellence
Such is your wisdom, of invested time
Creations of the divine
On the heights of love
Exceedingly above
All created things
Exhibited signs of majesty
Concerning me, you tend to my case
Casting all of my cares
Of honourable justice
Cocooned in compassion
Love unending
Continually the same
You reign on high
There is power in the name

Pearl: Soulfully renewed, with a sound mind
Confine the spirit of fear
Wash me with blessedness assured
Cloth me with sacred strength
Direct thy paths
Of intrinsic value placed in me
Keep me hidden and close to thee
Blossomed fruits of maturity
As a living vessel
Radiate your royalty
Of such a season as this
Rested beneath your wings
Guard my heart
A time of preparation
Be formed and refined
Yielded to the master’s plan
I shall seek your face
Of sovereign splendour
A veil of grace
In the midst of your shadow
For your appointed to find
Of your perfect timing
Of your perfect will
A laid foundation
A covering of silk
A precious pearl
A virtuous call
Of standards to surpass
With favour from high

Aaran: Instil in me, due diligence
To plough the field in solitude
Exuding excellence
In the accomplishment of a purposed will
Restorative rest
From tests and trials
Of requisite skills and character
Create room for special providence
A shadow of insight
Of your wondrous works
Let the vine be preserved
In season, to make the acquaintance of
A significant love
Of help to protect thee
Righteously reserved
To enlighten thee
A time of revealing
At a distance awaits
Preservation of patience
In your image created
Promises belated outside of your will
Of futile attempts to evade your plan
For I am not my own
There is help in you alone
Presented cares at your throne
In your presence may I stay

Pearl: One cannot underestimate motives established
In opposition to
For outsiders of the recognition
Of my true valuation
Let them locate me not
With casted lots they can but ill afford
You know my worth
You have me preserved
In safe keeping
Until an appointed time
True justice is thine
Let your kingdom advance
Counterfeit collectors
Of no business in here
Adorn me with your covering
Glory be to you
With humility and honour
To seek your truth
There is none like you
Blessed be the temple
I have been redeemed
For he is my keeper
Let me return to thee
A prized and treasured purchase
Such gems are rare
As a living sacrifice
Be pleasing to thee
Honour you in worship
With mindfulness take heed

Aaran: There is a ruler in the land
Of covenants and commands
A mighty love
With jealousy, of mercies that endure
He reigns forever more
Of the future and before
Of granted seasons
In spirit to discern
Of faithful steps where I am tested
To stretch established trust
“Will you walk with me, to a place that you know not”
With former ways forgot
A courageous look ahead
In spirit and in truth
Let me follow you
Every facet of my being
Awesome depths of knowledge, wisdom and understanding
Of paths to pursue
On ahead we shall go

Pearl: Do they possess your righteousness?
Were they sent in your name?
They have not your likeness
Conflicting with your plan
They bring no completeness
Disharmony abounds
With such fruitless planting
Upon rocky ground
Yokes of inequality to establish not
Presenting common gifts to exclusivity
Of access unauthorised
Of acts to displease
Claims of validation
Such will be disproved
Of a different team they are
Of their travels from afar
Of which of these can be after your own heart?
To see beyond the shell
Where favour cannot reside
Cast away their pride
Return from whence you came
Patience is a virtue
Let my life exemplify
With your gardening of reason
Of true love amplified

Aaran: To trust in your timing
Let your ways become my ways
Recharge my focus
The potter moulds the clay
A rebirth of integrity
A calling forth to lead
Of due responsibility
Opportunities embraced
So I shall arise
Evolving ever wise
Symbolising service
Blessed to be a blessing
Gracefully equipped
Faithfully serving
With reverence so aligned
Of seasons placed on time
Of suitable design
A man of the divine
A vessel of virtue
A good thing I will find

Pearl: An objective of order
Contemplating eyes
For whatsoever you find, that is unlike you
Be extracted, be removed
Reestablishment be loosed
One appointed master
Of obedience to you
Old ways be overturned
Of varied lessons learnt
Refurbish and restore
Bring your authority
Be the head about the door
Brought beyond brokenness
Restorer of joyfulness
Complement contentedness
Companion incomparable
Character in confidence
That of transformation
Faith in the intangible
Supernaturally sure
Intentional living
All of which I strive
No desire to arrive
Countering complacency
His bold divinity, will enhance my days
Divine provider of wealth
Of spiritual health
He stands in the gap
A bringer of true balance
His care is unabridged

Aaran: At such an appointed time
A climate of change
I will recognise my dearest
With opened eyes
Like the dawn of sunrise
I will be drawn to thee
Of natural beauty
He will spiritually advise
To have found the one
In accordance with your blueprint
Of events orchestrated
Of joyfulness elated
How precious is thee!
Seemingly hidden from view
With devotion to development
That our paths would cross
To begin our journey
In one accord
Of such blessings to afford
To one day so stand before
Our maker
Declarations of love and commitment to thee
Of such a blessed vision
One day realised
For until such a time
Let me wait upon the Lord
To seek first his righteousness
Before our holy covenant
I shall wait on thee

Pearl: As events unfold
Let all that you touch upon turn into gold
With wonders of mystery
Bold miraculous signs
Nature’s seasons ever changing
Truly divine
With no division of time
Of cares undivided
Due attention to you
Reveal to me your truths
As I soulfully meditate upon your daily word
Lest I depart from righteous ways
Lead me all of my days
May I cling to you
Love’s loyal devotion
Blissfully lost in your word
You guide me as light
By day and by night
Enlightened watchtower of constancy
Exalt you in your sanctuary
For you have created a work in me
For your word shall not return to you void
In you I shall prosper
Accomplish I will
Of promises spoken
Shall come to pass
Let your divine order take precedence
Let my cup runneth over
Bring wholesomeness
Your blessed investment concerning me
Left not alone
You called me as your own
Selectively sought and set apart
To kneel before you with humility
Your goodness washing over me
How much greater can this be?

Aaran: A creator above all
You catch me when I fall
Of whom could match the wondrous treasure I have found in you
The sacred gift of your beloved son
For my salvation
With victory already won
In fellowship with you
So to feast upon the bread of heaven
My daily fill
You are my strength and you are my shield
A fortified fortress that stands on high
There is none like you
No tower could be built, that could surpass you
Of whom could reach you with earthly hands
Or overrule your divine plans
To fathom the works of your mighty hands
Truly appointed before my formation
You laid the foundations
Of which to create
Blessedly ordained
For your holy purpose
Qualified
I will embrace
Thou art is divine

Pearl: Of seasons granted, so I have been blessed
In the comfort of your arms
You are the fire to my flame
Spiritual gifts of the Holy Spirit
Enlightened with wisdom and understanding
Yet that I may discern what is unlike you
To hear your voice
With strangers unfollowed
You are the founder of new ability
Of your powerful ways
You fill me with courage
I am nourished with strength
The means to go on
There is healing in the name
My call yet not in vain
Unceasing in prayer
You bring me new vitality
As essential as the breadth of life
The greatness in me because of you
You have granted holy consciousness
Let my desire be for you
For changes that you orchestrate
Of whom could foresee the times
Of the truly divine

Aaran: Your founded access to my innermost being
Let me be more like you
To be steadfast in obedience
Your statutes of noble sovereignty
Perspective renewal
Be washed
Be cleansed
Knowing you, knowing you
I want to know you more
Only you can restore
The joy of your salvation
Your bold proclamation upon the earth
To so recognise worth and offer redemption
I will sing for joy and tell of your righteousness
You unlock blessings at every elevation
Your continued revelation imparted to me
I will exalt thee
For you are holy
Let your Holy Spirit dwell in me
Your enlightening instructions concerning me
My walk with you
Yet a day draws near
For my dearest one
Shall surely come
Pieces of the puzzle
A flow of fluency
May my inner soul glow
With sure delight
Oh the joy you bring
There is gladness in the offering
Beyond happenstance
So spiritually lead
In your perfect will
To be so aligned

Pearl: To hear the voice of my Sovereign Lord
To be called aside concerning me
Of the knowledge to impart to me
Ushered beyond un-forgiveness
Of relationships renewed
Your re-established order
To picture perfect peace
A flow in harmony
My daily time with thee
Yet no matter where I go, I always circle back to thee!
Of days made anew
For I am complete and whole in you
There is an abundance of joy
There is an ultrasound of gladness
Of the news you bring regarding me
You have concealed me with your covering
Hidden beneath your wings
Yet of a time that has now come
Of such practiced preparation
You are calling forth a season
In you I have grown in intimacy
Shaped and moulded
Daughter of the king
To so now reveal to me
The becoming of a bride
Of your covenant
So you cover me
Gracefully guided
In fellowship with you
I shall await for your appointed day
As the bride of Christ
In perfect patience

Aaran: May I be granted the privilege of your acquaintance
The Lord has spoken to me concerning you
A timely revealing
To assuredly know
A joyous recognition
Of such beauty to embrace
May we so establish
An honourable courtship
How the essence of your soul resonates with me
Wholesomely relatable
May I invest my time and share thus journey with you
With Christ at the centre
May we one day enter

Into a sacred covenant
How you blissfully share the good news of the Lord
How we address each other in one accord
Seated in blessed harmony
My prayers for you
An unfolding reality
May we continue to preserve
All that is in reserve
Until such a time that the Lord has called forth
For no matter where I go, I will always circle back to thee!

Pearl: To have pictured this moment
Unfolding before my eyes
Like a blissful sunrise
I am delighted with thee
The joy of the Lord resides in me
May we offer praises to the king
A blessed journey has begun
May we give due attention to all that is to come
I was hidden for a time
Yet I will be yours and you will be mine
May we grow in love
May we follow truth
Let us share our thoughts
With wisdom in line
To have journeyed through the stages and so be refined
You offer delicacy of the finest gold
May our weaknesses be made perfect in his strength
May we continue to always seek the Lord
With wisdom and wise counsel
Yet be accountable
May we grow and prosper
In accordance with his will
A blessed revealing
Of a time to be s-t-i-l-l
For no matter where I go, I will always circle back to thee!

Aaran: Oh Sovereign Lord
Of the delight you bring
Beyond completeness in you
My help you have brought
May I truly qualify to have her hand
The transferring of your holy covenant
Equip me to cover her
All the days of her life
A reality beyond my dreams
You intervened and made me upright
To be appointed to solemnly stand
As a godly man
To sacredly vow
In full sight of you
In reverent witness
Of unified agreement
For us to so merge as one
Of such a coming together
Let no one separate
Oneness of soul
Two become one flesh
In your perfect will
Created with a purpose
Let us co-create
Let your threefold cord
Truly bind us together
May our love glorify you
All the days of our lives
For no matter where I go, I will always circle back to thee!

Pearl: Sing praises to the king
To the father of creation
His timely revelation
So perfectly divine
For my love has found favour
For the goodness he has found
Of exceeding abundance
Of the varied forms
So gratefully received
May we scatter our blessings right across the earth
May we share the good news
Let ministries be birthed
Let your purpose radiate
In all righteousness
May we attest to the goodness you bring
Had I not answered your call
I would continue to
F
A
L
L
When I was far from you
You drew me near
I could but revere
The treasure I have found in you
I am wallowed within the midst of your love
Of blessings unfolding
Yet sent from above
For no matter where I go, I will always circle back to thee!

Aaran: I relish the goodness of the king
How your marvellous might surpasses all
As I bow at your throne
For you are God and God alone!
For no matter where I go, I will always circle back to thee!
