NEW BORN

Newborn You, light up the

Dark crags of my heart.

Loving, laughing, chuckling

Let the streams of new

Life flow

Washing away the broken

Shell

Naked, standing,

Green, like a lamb.

Helpless and yet under

Your protection

You are the rock and

Also the water,

Your truth is the sword

And the bread of life.

My thirst is quenched

Through your outpouring

Overflow in me

Setting others free

May my brokenness

Give freedom to others

Your light revealed

Through the holes in

My heart

Divine light, birthing

Me. Complete

Free

Unfettered by the old

Ties, torn away and

Released.

There are marks from

Where the chains of

Bondage cut

But your blood is

Healing balm

Your eternal wounds

Make mine shine

Love is resurrection

Wounded compassion

Your gift to me.

My love set free.

Your birth in me.

Cut away the violence

The fear of it,

The beauty marred by it.

This is not your gift

But the distorted prize

Of the other side

Longing for greed to

Step in

And yet freed from

That bondage

Your movement is

One of grace

Turning your face to the

Blow

Not letting go

Not moving away

But loving anyway

Through the pain

You stay

I flee

You remain with me

You cast my fears

Into the ocean of

Your love

Let them melt with

The warmth of your

Light

Till nothing but new

Life, new time

Water into wine

Remains

Making the ordinary

Miraculous.

Simply being me

Is setting your creation

Free

You made me me

Precious, unique, free

Your love compassion

Designed to flow

Out of me

So resting in that

Your peace, your

Joy, your trust

Takes over

Making my brokenness

A blessing

A blessing for all to

See

Your light shining

Out of me

Your grace setting me

Free

Broken, given, shared

No more despair

Just love

Not kept in heaven

Above

But in every living

Thing, above and below

Without

And within

Waiting, waiting to begin

Begin the journey home

To our final resting place

In your arms of

Eternal, love peace and

Grace

When we shall see you

Face to face
