Warmth again..

Warmth like never before fills my whole being
Starting from my toes right up to the tip of my head
Warmth running through my veins
Warmth pumping blood from my heart.
Warmth in my mind,
Warmth in my Soul that rests so peacefully now at night.
Warmth never felt before.

Before was the Winter Chill -
I could not move, nor talk.
I could not feel myself
All life seemed drained away inside me.
My heart so icy, it could hardly pump blood
My mind shut tight to the harsh draughts inside
My Soul weeping bitterly and shivering
Stretching its Hands to its Saviour to come.

And then You came, my beloved – you came
so Fully – and so simply
A winter blizzard you changed suddenly to the warm spring sunshine
And I lay down in peace, on the warm sand, full of gratitude
Gratitude beyond words, beyond all possible actions –
Gratitude -
My Soul sleeping after spending so long awake in nightmares
My Soul sleeping at Your feet.

How Beautiful you are my Darling
You show me Your face, and let me hear Your voice
In the most simple ways of all -
Through Your Grace and Grace alone
I see Your face upon the face of my beloved family,
I hear Your voice in their voices,
Their laughter is Yours
Their gentle touch Your own.
Unworthy am I to serve my loved ones.
Unworthy am I to serve You.

Sweet as the dew in the early morn
Like a lily among the thorns.
Set me as a seal on Your Heart
Set me as a seal on Your Soul
For strong as Death is Love
More yielding than the grave
Nothing can quench its flame
Nothing can quench its flame.
