The thoughts, they wander from truth to space and back to truth again.
Come turn away my eyes from looking at the worthless ones.
Come lead me to the ones that direct me back to you.
Come guide me in Your strength to the very place that you live.
To be with you where you are, looking at the only one who has it all together.
You know it all.
Come turn away my eyes from looking at the worthless ones.
Come lead me to the ones that direct me back to you.
Come guide me in Your strength to the very place that you live.
To be with you where you are, looking at the only one who has it all together.
You know it all.
Come weave your words into my thoughts.
Capture my mind with you.
Then take that life, life giving truth, and pour it into the depths of my heart.
Fill me to the brim.
Enlarge that empty vessel, stretch it, me, to my limit.
Come seep through the cracks in doors shut with pride, until the locks and lies weaken.
And loosen the grip that I hold tight to the thoughts that keep us apart.
Come work the fingers open, with grace and patience and skill.
Until my hands finally let go.
Until my eyes see what was once denied.
Come have it from hands and heart you've broken, peeled, gently and firmly opened.
Then come hold me all together,
Capture my mind with you.
Then take that life, life giving truth, and pour it into the depths of my heart.
Fill me to the brim.
Enlarge that empty vessel, stretch it, me, to my limit.
Come seep through the cracks in doors shut with pride, until the locks and lies weaken.
And loosen the grip that I hold tight to the thoughts that keep us apart.
Come work the fingers open, with grace and patience and skill.
Until my hands finally let go.
Until my eyes see what was once denied.
Come have it from hands and heart you've broken, peeled, gently and firmly opened.
Then come hold me all together,
with your love and your love and your love.
Come live freely inside all my space, space you designed for you.
Come move about and use my mind and lips and hands and feet.
Come use my beat to be all that you are.
Come win in me and win through me.
Oh Great God come soon.
Come live freely inside all my space, space you designed for you.
Come move about and use my mind and lips and hands and feet.
Come use my beat to be all that you are.
Come win in me and win through me.
Oh Great God come soon.
Love, flawless unrelenting love we can know
Hope, sacred reverential hope starts to glow
In the recesses of your heart where love had flown
Sweet dreams of heaven changing our waking lives
Breath, taken in and bringing what was dead to life
In the recesses of your heart where love had died
Let it rise and lead you cross a great divide
Awake, looking for another way to get back home
Life, resurrected, swallowed death made us whole
In the recesses of your heart where love will grow
Heaven give us roots and wings and lead us home
Oh great God give us rest
No more fear from all of this
Oh great God give us rest
Let your light come down on us
Oh great God give us rest

I am glad I revisited this post. The words you wrote are quite beautiful. This is a prayer worthy of revisiting from time to time. A lovely poem. I wrote it down in the Journal to Geoffrey. I thought you would like to know that.
