Capture Me
This song came about at a time when I felt pulled in many different directions. I was missing the Lord and yearned to spend some time alone with Him. After putting my youngest child to bed I walked out to the front porch steps and sat down. The night was clear and the stars were very bright. For a brief moment I felt totally captured by God.
Lyrics
Often you're so quiet, your visits unannounced
So often I am moving, and I don't hear the sound
Of your quiet footsteps or knock at my door
Please come in, Capture me
Take my hand and lead me, out into the night
Underneath the canopy of stars and silvery light
Forgive me please but I've lost touch with who you are
Capture me, Let's journey far
Chorus
And the light that you bring and that follows you around
Let it guide my path, and fill my soul
I will cherish these moments, I will hang on to every Word
From the voice of love I know
So many triumphs of the human heart and mind
So many lovely pearls You have let me find
Oh but I have found the loveliest supreme pearl of all
Capture me, Capture me
Bridge
I am just a poet, You are a King
How is it You would want to walk this earth with me
You who formed the universe are holding my hand
Is it o.k. if just this once I let pride in?
Take my hand and lead me out into the night
Underneath the canopy of stars and silvery light
