"O house of Jacob,
come, let us walk
in the light of the LORD!"
(Isa. 2:5)
you reached into
the dusk of chaos
and brought out the sun
to warm me on a winter's day;
the moon to illuminate my path
on an evening's walk;
the stars to be my companions
during a sleepless night.
you stretched out your arms
toward the twilight of death,
rolling away the stone
covering it's heart,
so that i could be set free.
you found me huddled
in the murky corner of my despair,
and,
taking me by the hand,
pulled me to my feet,
and we went off skipping
into your kingdom.
i will walk in your light,
my Lord,
i will walk.
Amen.
