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
