The journey home

Walking along for such a short while

Trying to get your pace,  

I learned to walk into the pierced arms of grace,

And at a closer look I saw the holes

in the palms that healed the sick....

I touched those palms and

felt a thrill of pain and love.

His immense love was flooding

from those holes, in those palms

that surround me.

And He draws me near to His heart

So I will feel His heartbeat

and He'll put His beat in my heart.

Now that I learned to walk in His arms

I'm swimming in the ocean of His unfathomable love,

it flows from all over,

I cannot hold it for me

and it bursts from me too,

I feel He's put it there....

and it's here to flow, for good.



And when you gave me the instructions

and learned a bit, you said:

"this is the way: press on",

then you flew away....

Now I find myself at the start of a new road, alone....

alone in the Arms surrounding me.

And it's all I need for now... and for ever.

He's promising to guide me and never forsake me.

He's just used you for a little while

to turn my eyes on Him,

and God is all we need.



Maybe you find yourself too

in the dawn of a new journey,

maybe you find yourself alone, too

but alone in the Arms surrounding you....

And He draws you near to His heart

so you will feel His heartbeat

and He'll put His beat in your heart,

He'll use you again,

and put you in someone else's life

to give instructions, to turn their eyes on God,

He'll guide you step by step,

...and me, too...

though we tread on separate roads

He'll lead us both to where

our two roads become one:

at the great gate of His Kingdom.



We're here not to cling to one another

we're here to cling to GOD, desperately,

Only this way we'll make it through

all that comes along our way up home.

Although the wind blows away

the tears dropping in the air

and though my heart is torn,

I'll fix my eyes in the eyes

that won't forget me.

You'll fix your eyes too,

in His perfect, loving eyes  

and there you'll see

my reflection

and looking in His eyes I'll see

your reflection,

this way we both see each other

when we fix our eyes

in His Godly tender eyes.

Author's Notes/Comments: 

The start of a new journey remembering the flaming heart that walked along with me for such a short while. God revealed me a treasure in you... you are so precious, may He take you in His strong arms and take you right where He planned when He took you from here. I pray for all God's richest blessings to come upon you and pour in you unmeasurable grace, faith and His Holy Spirit to use you to show the miracles of God in your life and through your life.
To my beloved friend and mentor, Lo.
