In Love Himself
... from one of my favorite Evangelical poets and modern mystics... I love the songs she sings to her Savior.
Sparks and Shadows
Cover the distance, love in between us,
When I am cold and afraid
You are the secret,
Spoken in silence
Keeping the vow you have made.
You hold me through sparks and shadows
You sing me awake
When night falls and my thoughts wander,
You stay.
I love this way.
You are the only Truth in existence
Why would I reach for more-
You are my future, here in my present
And all that has gone before.
