Like the tentative heartbeat of a new beginning,
I’m fearful but ready for launch,
On the brink of my tattered mortality,

Loving the embrace of your spirit, Lord,
 I don’t mind outpacing time
To depart earth and launch for heaven, please call for me.

I sing & I pray & long to see
 the full consequence of my hallelujahs
I think I’m okay.

I’ve rescinded  the other path,
I’m in this for the long haul,
The road ahead is a mighty one,

I’m still finding my way,
I’m ready to live...
guide your child.

Holy thunder of very gentle disposition,
I stand, a happy moral outcast,
Known & loved at my core,
saved by the meek lamb from Nazareth,

As a lonely sojourner he’s carried my yoke,
Relieving me of the wrath of the prudish gods,
He is a special God, a lovely one
Quietly reigning over coherent minions...

Worthy is this carpenter,
who rummaged through the
debris of earnest churchmen & beautiful virgins,
Loving them in their hidden unloveliness,

He is the one,
Worthy of my expedition here on earth,
He is the one worth knowing, through scripture, prayer & song.
He is the one worth finding,

He quiets the longing in my heart,
& cleans out the germs of my soul’s unrest.
I stand a happy outcast with many many sins,
adorned graciously by a heavy cross & a Loving God.

...this is amazing grace.
thank you.
