Heart Cry for RezWeek 2011

Hey friends and family! This is the poem I wrote and read for REZweek.  It was a work of the Spirit, not of me, but some people said they wanted to see it, so here it is.

Do you remember Me?
I know you in the dark places,
in the secret places hidden from time.
I form you from the dust of the earth
fold and knit you from fabric of My making
so that you may know Me.
don't you remember?

do you remember Me?
I nourish you with Manna,
Bread of Heaven, Words of Life
I give you Living Water from the Rock
and teach you to drink deeply
to quench your thirst from My bounty.
do you even remember?

do you remember Me?
My voice rumbles from the mountaintop
prophets declare my thoughts
you are struck through with fear and rightly
for I am holy and you are lowly
but I am wholly yours.
don't you remember?

do you remember Me?
I give to you the Good and Promised Land
I choose you to be My People,
you stubborn, unmoving children!
not because of your merit
but because I choose to love you
do you even remember?

do you remember Me?
I am the Lord who loves you,
the God of gods and Lord of lords
the great God, mighty and awesome
The Lord who is among you
The One who hears your cry.
don't you remember?

do you remember Me?
I hang upon a cross
drink the boiling cup of God's hatred
I drink it to the burning dregs
agony upon agony
All for you, My cherished People
do you even remember?

do you remember Me?
I remember you.
there's a place for you in eternity
you'll share with Me in Victory
all pain forgotten, all foes vanquished
I long for you to join me here
don't you remember?

do you remember Me?
do you remember your First Love?
do you remember Light?
do you remember answered prayers
do you remember the joy of faith
the joy of restored sight?
do you even remember?
