Mighty Love

Your love is strong -
You are full of strength.
It endures forever;
It upholds me.
Because I am weak and unable.
It is enough for me;
Sufficient to overcome frailty.
You are strong to
Keep me grounded.

You're love is so strong.
Strong enough to sustain me,
Not just for my benefit of
You being enough,
But You give Your love to me
So that I am able to
Give love to You.
It outlasts any compulsion.
You have enough to give
Eternally,
Not just to bestow because
You're kind, but
To invade and fill up
So I may shine and
Give to others.
It can never be fully understood
Or fully attained.
It is an everlasting river
Washing through the earth,
Connecting every pond, lake,
Canal, stream, puddle, drop
Into one weave of purity,
Pulling from the endless ocean
Filled by the light of heaven.

Your love is so strong,
Stronger than any force of nature.
Earthquakes and floods,
Hurricanes and Fires,
It consumes the heart of
Every man who
Catches the slightest glimpse.
You possess the fiercest power to
Move buildings and towers,
That is, the stone cold and
Bucking hearts of mortal men.
You can bring the
Most mighty among the
Earth to their knees.
You can melt the ice,
Remove the rust,
Demolish the brick house of sin
From the most shameful and unsearching,
Then restore it perfect life.

To resist Yourself from
Becoming undone that
We might live and
Experience it in Your
Intricate and tender ways,
Requires a restraint unfathomable.
To reveal it in full
Would overwhelm us
As we are residents of
A broken realm.

Your love is strong,
To raise the
Sleeping and awake to
Transform our bodies as
You take us up
To finally see in full and
Be known fully.

Your love is strong.

The Real Reality

I'd rather be there
In the land that touches light.
The glimmer of a thousand sparkles
Leaves my mind breathless and frozen as
They're dancing upon the water and
Resting behind open eyes.
The wind seems to carry its reflection
As if it were something tangible,
Swooping like butterflies
We chase them like little children with
No regard for the world.
Laughter resounds...
From the air,
From all who reside there,
From your mouth.
The pleasure of simplicity
Succeeds all of its competitors.
Light is the currency of
A wealth not yet discovered.
Faith is the sustaining force.
This is better than dreams.
