God's Fullness


When I am full of God, it's just halfway,
and empty, it's just halfway emptiness,
yet halfway full is so much more, I'd say,
than halfway emptiness of Him is less.

Just as halfway sweet spring is full of hope,
so halfway full of God seems almost full,
as halfway fall resists the slippery slope,
so empty God holds back the downward pull.

God never wants to fully fill us up
and never wants to let us empty be,
He always leaves some Godness in our cup
and gives us space because He made us free.

Empty or full of halfway God or whole,
a bit of God is fullness to my soul.
