Dear kindred, my love and longing,
my joy and crown of delight;
stand with our Master.
Let the feet of your heart raise a cloud
of joy every moment, rejoice!
In YHWH, in Love, rejoice!
Put on your Sunday Best,
that favorite dress, gentleness.
He is here, offering warmly his coat.
Pin your cares with wings of sparrows.
Press the fruit of your life to fragrant oil
and break the jar of your heart at his feet.
The harmony of heaven, the singing of God
which shakes the furthest star
barricades your heart in Resurrection song!
Beyond these…
for whatever is Lovely,
fight! Cherish mightily, love.
With God every strength is possible.
By Messiah every power is commanded,
a standing army at my side.
Our gravel pits become mountain lakes
as God brings out grinning pitchers
brimming with glory from the house that Jesus built.
Wear your glory, Abba. Amen.
