In darkness I fall asleep
Restless I may be
But I sink into your embrace
And dream within your heart
I awake, and new mercies greet me
And it happens over and over
Night after night
Morning after morning
From glory to glory
.
You meet me in my rising
You catch me in my falling
In my highs and my lows
Mountain tops and valleys
Your presence is inescapable
.
When I’m soaring, you are everywhere
When I make my bed in Hell
Again, I find nothing but you there
In ecstasy, in sublime delight,
And when I land at rock bottom
This Spirit remains the ground of my being
The surprise of your voice, never ceasing
.
In trusting
In clarity
In doubt
In wandering
At every turn
In every season
I am not alone
.
Encounters at my right
Signs upon my left
Surely goodness follows me
Haunting
Loyally
.
There is no more reaching for Heaven
Heaven’s grip is firm on me
There is no more seeking infilling
I’m in you and you’re in me
I’m as full as I will ever be
It’s an everyday discovery
.
There is no veil between us
No walls
No offense or separation
Grace has cleared my vision
And more and more I see
You are Immanuel
.
This is my breath
This is my life
This is my confidence
My deepest conviction
I am in Union
I’m caught up in Trinity
This is my daily bread
My eternity
.
Thank you for nearness
Thank you for here-ness
I recognize
I receive
And I live in appreciation
.
Inhale
Exhale
I am yours
And you are mine
And this is Love
This is
reality
