There's no limit to your patience, Lord:
you always offer me another chance,
a new beginning,
a fresh start...
There's no end to your mercy:
it flows forever freely,
deeper than the ocean,
wider than the sea...
No lock upon your heart, Lord:
you draw me free from all my sins,
you wash me clean of all my guilt,
you love me back to your embrace...
Your heart's wide open, beckoning,
"Draw near, come close, don't be afraid!
I wait for you, there's room for you,
a place for you: I want you..."
You couldn't make it easier
but I delay, demur, and can't decide
to take that step and dive
into the depths of your sweet mercy... And so I need a new beginning, Lord,
your gift of grace, gently pushing
'til I jump and fall into your arms
and you hold me in your peace...
Amen.
