turn, turn, turn

“In overflowing wrath for a

         moment

   I hid my face from you,

but with everlasting love I will

         have compassion on you,

   says the LORD, your Redeemer.”  Isaiah 54:8

while we spin away

shouting, ‘I never want

to see you again!’ at someone

and stick to that resolve, you

take a deep breath,

turning to face us,

breathing grace upon us

in that moment and all which follow,

Redeemer.
