Steadfast. Immovable (Part IX)

Steadfast. Immovable (Part IX) is the ninth of an 11 part series of poems I wrote in 2010 during a time of transition. Transition has always been hard for me, but this situation, I really experienced God shepherding my heart as I left one role and move onto another. He did a lot of shifting on the heart level for me. These poems celebrate how constant and strong He is in the midst of life's uncertainty. (1 Corinthians 15.58)

Christ steadfast. immovable.

            i come in on Your shoulders

            i eat light

            i resonate with peace

            i ask, and it is given

            i sing with you, i sing.

                       

                        our fellowship on Your initiation.

           

            you are everything—my soul weeps and laughs

            our Fragrance in the courts

                        dressed in elegance, we dance

            among the pillars,

                        upon the Throne,

            and i sit up in Your lap.

                        away with me You ride

                                    to a sleep land

                        i am wrapped in your garments

                                    and i breathe

            the rhythms of Your heart

                        “how precious You are to me”

                                    my heart beats back to Yours

                        “how very precious, my son, my darling…”

            and i hear that we are One.

         

            when You are God, 

what am i?

            i'm so glad to be nothing, 

when You are mine.
