Good Is Here. Good Is Now.

I have opened my eyes
In a sudden calm
To the soft picking strings
To the tug on my heart
To my Father's peace inside my soul

And on a still night
When the dark is simply arranged
By the street lights and house candles
I will understand that this world is still right
In some corners of itself
That my tears can still be felt in love and joy
And not tormented by any deep lows that I should swing into

I have secrets to hide
And laughter to share
I have experianced saddness in many reflections
And a richness unbounded
How will I find myself?
And still, define myself?
In my Father

I trust that I will stand firm like Esther
Dedicated like Ruth
Compassionate like Mary
Keep me unswerving, that is all I beg
I am safe in You

For all that should come, it is only this life
And in following You, You have entrusted me with these few things
Help me love well
Help me comfort and protect
Help me be a woman of Truth and Honesty and Peace
Help me find the beauty of quiet
Help me be the fullness of myself, as outgoing as I am, it is a face of You

I want to find that part of me that is Your distinct imprint
And I want to be a clear vision of You
I want to be the original, independant, compassionate person You made me

Give me strength and grace and courage and Love

Speak to me of what is good and right
I want to see those things
