Names of God (High-Res DV)

2 comments:

  1. I look towards the wintering trees
    To hush my fretful soul
    As they rise to face the icy sky
    And hold fast beneath the snow
    Their rings grow wide, their roots go deep
    That they might hold their height
    And stand like valiant soldiers
    Through the watches of the night

    No human shoulder ever bears
    The weight of all the world
    But hearts can sink beneath the ache
    Of trouble's sudden surge
    Yet far beyond full knowing
    There's a strong unsleeping light
    That reaches round to hold me
    Through the watches of the night

    I have cried upon the steps that seem
    Too steep for me to climb
    And I've prayed against a burden
    I did not want to be mine
    But here I am and this is where
    You're calling me to fight
    And You I will remember
    Through the watches of the night
    You I will remember
    Through the watches of the night

    1. Contains prophetic echoes of musings on Gen.2:7...the Lord God formed a man's body...21:So the Lord caused Adam to fall into a deep sleep...took rib...22 Then made a woman from the rib...; 3:6...she ate some fruit & gave some to her husband... and Song of Songs 8:5"I aroused you under the apple tree, where your mother gave you birth, where in great pain she delivered you"; Eph.5:14 "Awake, O sleeper, rise up from the dead, and Christ will give you light"; Acts 12:7"Suddenly ...a bright light in the cell..angel tapped him on the side to awaken and said, 'quick, get up!"; Jn.19:34'One of soldiers pierced His side with a spear & blood and water flowed out'; 20:16 "Mary!"...she turned and exclaimed, "Teacher!"; Rev 21:2..."I saw the new Jerusalem,coming down from heaven like a beautiful bride prepared for her husband.3 I heard a loud shout from the throne saying 'Look, the home of God is now among His people!...He will remove all sorrows...no more death or sorrow or crying or pain. For the old world and its evils are gone forever"
