Eyes are sparkling. Head is spinning. The leaves are a lovely shade of orange of brown and suddenly I notice the earth.
How long have I been living in this place? How long has joy been in my soul?
It’s been quite awhile and when I slow down I see that peace has found a place where I used to wonder what I am worth
I find that it doesn’t really matter anymore once I relinquish control.
For you, Abba, have stolen my heart. I write a love song to you with my eyes and my spirit and my soul
My feet dance a love song to you.
Perhaps I don’t know the steps to walk that make a person whole
But there is something so simple in the way that I love You.
I sing a song of grace and forgiveness and everlasting comfort in Your arms
It is to YOU I run when I have lost my way, when things don’t make sense, when I know that there is something new to learn
With you there is no artfulness, no pretensions, no charms
You are the first resort, the last resort, the path of most resistance, never leaving me, a place I can always turn
Never, ever, ever a Father like you.
You carry my life in your hands and still your hand is small enough to wipe away my tears
You share your perspective yet understand my point of view
You never judge me for my fears.
For you, Abba. For you. All my love, Abba. For you.
