however there’s one thing
about breaking free
`of my physique’s pure limits,
there’s one thing about
defying gravity
and lifting, rising, hovering, flying – weightless:
as gentle because the spirit inside me,
as gentle because the soul you gave me
the soul the place you, Lord, come to dwell
and make your property in my coronary heart…
Clouds above and clouds
beneath, Lord,
clouds from all sides now;
aloft, afloat, on silver
wings,
nearer and nearer to “larger than”
however no nearer, Lord, to
you, up right here,
than down within the valley beneath…
Down the place the flowing
Creek of your grace
made crystal clear your
presence and contact:
the peace of your Spirit dwelling inside,
the
heavens at peace in my soul…
And simply as I prayed simply
a couple of weeks again:
irrespective of how excessive the altitude,
no matter my haughty perspective
regardless of all my ineptitude,
– due to your beatitude
as I flew by way of the
heavens as we speak, Lord
could you relaxation in my coronary heart tonight…
Defend me, Lord, whereas
I’m awake
and watch over me whereas I
sleep
that awake, I would maintain
watch with you
and asleep, relaxation in your
peace…
Amen.
