He Is Near
Like breathing, your light shines
Whispering kisses that remind my why
There is a love far wiser, far quieter…
Than starlight or moon glow, sunlight
Reflecting the song of grace and hope
Abiding in the heart of a life who knows…
Real love grows and grows!
Generous and peaceful, a serenity
Kindness in hues of inspiration
Awakening beauty that is like an embrace
Making me feel humble and free,
Piercing the darkness within me
So that the light shines through, stirring
Beauty that is more alive than the sea,
More potent than the dream,
Filled with hope and faith – praise
Echoing in the hollow night
It is the wonder, the amazing smile
A piece of history – the old surviving
The newness of this insight, this ancient
Promise who bids the heart to rise up
Flee the fear, the tear… despair
Who knows only to grieve
It is you, my courageous friend
Who makes a way… again and again
So that I can fall away from the dread
And fall into the sweetness of a peace
Far more attractive than the night
Peace that reminds me there is silence
There is promise… there is this moment
And I can find assurance in the love
That rains joy through my soul
Love that comes to life
When you remind me, with your light ….
There is a man who was the sacrifice
And because He lives
Because He forgives
I never need to fear… He is always near!
