Take me to the river of your endless love

And baptize me in your presence.

Drench me, then drain me,

Of all I was never meant to hold.

Consume me with the words

You have so carefully woven

Into the fabric of my every cell;

Each, a golden thread, a prophecy

A divinely laced reason for why I have come,

Tying me to the sweetness of a life

I have learned the hard way,

Only unfolds in its own precious time.

I do not know how this story ends

Nor do I really want to;

I much prefer this mystery gently graze

The fine tip ends of my mind.

But what I do know to be true

Is that no matter how far this heart

May wander, your hand will

Never leave mine

And every breath kissing my lungs

A hallelujah in disguise.
