I want to understand why God does what He does, but I don’t.
So I’ll lead with desire.
In God’s presence I come quicker to peacemaking and giving, as my own body and emotions quiet down. I long to be with you, Lord.
God’s calm confidence gives me courage and strength. My soul pants for you, O Lord.
Beauty, order and harmony follow God’s touch. Skin like a baby’s skin, healed and whole, in just a little while.
Seven times a little while. Seventy times seven.
haven’t I seen God’s glory now and then?
no matter why, or when?
why so downcast, o my soul? Why so bleak within me?
in the steady roar of his waterfalls
God waits for me once and once and once
again
