Those who call on Your Name,
They will not be put to shame.
You, Who are seated on Heaven’s
Mercy Seat--
You sing the song of redemption
That will draw near the worn down,
And brokenhearted.
Filled to the tip-top, hearts will
Sing songs left unsung,
And interiors will fling wide, unhindered;
Dead souls will awaken and fly
Onward to the Heart of a Lover,
My dear, this is age-old stuff.
Poets have tried to succeed in expression,
Tenderness, soliloquy, yet have failed.
No emotion wrapped in words or tears
Can capture the intensity, immensity.
Open up!
The fire burns widely for the wealth of you,
Cannot be matched by a price, dance into the light.
The Son of Man gazes on with eyes of fire burning…
His heart is yearning for your heart to be turning.
Tender Reed:
Dive deep,
Reach in,
Dig further,
Sing louder,
Breathe deeper,
Dance bolder,
Whisper more often,
Shout without shame,
Risk your pride,
Tackle timelessness,
Temper storms,
Multiply integrity,
Encourage hope,
Challenge loss,
Cheat death,
Rip ruins,
Cancel debts,
Confuse expectations,
Outdo yourself,
Rise Jesus-ward,
Stand straighter,
Tame rebellion,
Question claims,
Read thoughts,
Fill your heart with faith and tender love.
Bride, I am coming and here I find thee already waiting.
They will not be put to shame.
