If we’ll take a moment
Before this day, begin
To pause to just to be
Find Spirit dwelling in
We’ll find a gift of peace
Breath in the morning air
In the seeking light
To be found right here
Reception of His gift
Offered here for free
Accepted as His child
Love is finding me
Light is getting brighter
Beyond the now I see
Divine becomes the moment
Pause of eternity
Resting in prayer
To be, contemplate
Spirit descending
Your gift radiate
In glorious Presence
Abundant Your light
Love perfect outpouring
Incredibly bright
Soul of receiving
A basking into
Divine of consuming
Radiance of You
Disciple of sending
Connection extol
Shining Your light
Through candle of soul
There’s two ways to live our life
Einstein’s word recall
Everything’s a miracle
Or no miracles at all
Answer is apparent
The former is the truth
Calling of much greater
Lessons learned from youth
Way of awe and wonder
Through our God of love
Acceptance all through faith
Gratefulness above
Latter way so boring
Relying all on me
Weight so overbearing
No joy in light to see
Let me see with eyes
One of heavens view
To marvel in the gifts
Sent to us from You
Let a song be in my heart
Let it be of You
Gift me with Your joy O Lord
Your light shining through
For I am feeling empty
No passion in my way
One of the routine
Just getting through my day
Victim to the thief
One of the world below
Bind me as the chosen
So much You want to show
Retreating into prayer
One through souls pure light
Arising from the inner
Emblaze the candle bright
We are called above
One of another place
Bond in love of Christ
Blessed with precious grace
Let me find myself
Dwelling in Your light
One within Your time
Lifting Spirit bright
Let me know myself
As Your beloved son
Value in Your eyes
From which all is spun
Let me be myself
Find my purpose true
Serving of Your kingdom
Focus be of You
Let me lose myself
Focused on Your Son
Surrendering to You
May Your will be done
Sacred Presence
Holy gaze
Set before
Here, amazed
Cover me
Draw soul in
Deepest prayer
Here, begin
Perfect love
Grace surrounds
Light ignited
Here, abounds
Carry me
Let it go
God beyond
Here, I know
I travelled to a Church
Intending to pray
Doors were locked tight
No going my way
I asked my Lord why?
Shook my fist in the air
Disappointed was I
Did my Lord not care?
Watched a movie instead
And went straight to sleep
No time for my asking
To remain in His keep
Awake in the morning
A new view to see
To grow in persistence
Of faith guiding me
My purpose, my plan
No way to be free
My prayer for this day
Let the Lords way be
Beyond this world we see
Into one we know
Glimpses of Your light
That you sometimes show
Something of a feeling
A whisper in the dark
Not sure where it came from
Path begins to spark
Whisper of the inner
One Spirit imparts
A voice somewhat familiar
Heard within the heart
Out of human spectrum
Of loves protection true
Past coincidence
The providence of You
Soul’s response is grateful
Message shining clear
A touch of grace is granted
Something greater now is here
Rest now the noise
Watching trees grow
Lifting of view
Internal the flow
Rest now the hands
With nothing to do
Time of receiving
In dwelling with You
Rest now the eyes
View inner the light
Place of the soul
Of deeper insight
Rest now the soul
In heavens embrace
One of depending
For all is Your grace
In power of Your Presence great
There’s way too much to contemplate
With universe at Your command
How can this soul before You stand?
In one display of precious grace
You run to me with warm embrace
Unworthy turns of shame within
By precious blood You wash my sin
Pure joy of hope rejoices true
Expounding by the love of You
In kingdom join of path anew
This light divine cast holy view
Beyond my mind that I should see
Just let Your love flow out of me
