the rest is secret... too glorious for words...

Worship wells
in this receding flesh
dancing pure joy
upon your altar.

Keep me ever here
ever burning
dancing to your measure
upon the ashes of who I was
in the glory of your presence...


...as You like...

I thought I had a little more time,
A few more days-
Some stolen hours
to fortify myself
for the things You have planned.

Dizzy, I realize that I was wrong
and the sound around me
is the song
you quietly started some time ago
when I wasn't listening.

Thank You for Your perfect timing,
that never waits for my permission...
It's just as well, for in my fear
I procrastinate and hesitate
Dulling the edge of your sharp intention.

Here I am, caught up
in your lovely hurricane,
bare,
unprepared,
vulnerable...
just as you like me best;
and I sense your pleasure,
your laughter,
your delight
at my unsurprised surprise.

I can barely think in the here,
so hard to focus in this place
when your breath is all around me
and Im dizzy from spinning
in the stars with you.

Daddy,
dance me on this floor
with your grace, wrapped in your embrace...
give yourself glory in what you cause me to do,
All I can see is you...
Everything I have is for you.
Steady me, so I can pour it out
As worship...

Steady me,
and keep me blinded
by your light,
bound ever to your side...
such is my delight.
