Lord, it took too many decades
before I truly welcomed your grace
astir in my heart,
restless in my soul
patiently waiting to move me to joy
in the midst of my troubles,
to lead me to peace
when my burdens are many,
to know your healing
while my heart still aches,
to rest content
in my discontent,
to trust in your presence
when I cannot find you...
Too many decades, Lord,
to come to this time and finally find
peace
greater than I've ever known,
joy
deeper that I'd ever imagined,
love
stronger than I ought deserve...
Too many decades, Lord,
but now, in your time
which is right on time,
now, not too late
(only why not before?)
now, in this moment
(may it long endure!)
now, in your grace
(so freely given)
now, in your arms
(so strong and embracing)
now, yes right now
and as never before,
now, hear my praise, Lord,
my heart's grateful song,
now in this moment,
the day you have made...
Amen.
