Steadfast. Immovable (Part VII)

Steadfast. Immovable (Part VII) is the seventh 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.

            sun of righteousness risen high like noon

            so apart yet so a part of everything we do

            i do not eat but what you give

            i do not breath but that you live

            i do not live but that you rise

            i do not rise but that you abide

with

me.

           

            come to Christ, my soul. come.

            my skin-weaver, a heart beat,

            and a world we once shared

            all time you now bear with God.

            exalted in simple obedience, in love

            we claim you now to find and be found

           

            heart-light in men, come near us again

            make haste, that we may drink deep your light

            for i close my eyes and i fear again

            only You

can make everything alright.
