When you don’t need signs or wonders or magic, just simple sighs of laughter and blessing, I’ll be the Joy that delights your day.  I still love you.  And I’m still here.

When I turn to touch the safe and familiar and find neither safety nor comforts of home, will You be the Peace that whispers, “Be still?”

When you turn to touch the safe and familiar and find neither safety nor comforts of home, I’ll be the Peace that whispers, “Be still.”  I still love you.  And I’m still here.

When you walk in the darkness and lose your way, and you’re not even sure that you want Me to find you, I’ll be the Light that calls you out.  I still love you.  And I’m still here.

When I close my eyes to wake no more, and labor to draw my ultimate breath, will You be the Life that carries me home?

When you close your eyes to wake no more, and labor to draw your ultimate breath, I’ll be the Life that carries you home.  I still love you.  And I’m still here.

My Fire, my Truth, my Rest, my Joy… my Peace, my Shield, my Light, my Life!  My Faithful Redeemer and Dearest Friend!

Enflaming, reminding, comforting, delighting… stilling, keeping, calling, carrying.  Always loving.  Always… always… here.
