Like Words of Divine Hope

Like words of divine hope
Balm for my aching soul, they come
Crush through the icicles of this last year
Splintering the defenses
I've so tenderly built
Around my life, around my heart
To block out all the things that I know You have for me
And yet I long to come, even as I run away

So I let myself be drawn...

For its only in Your presence that I actually find
That purpose and peace I've been longing to bind
Close to my heart so it can't slip away
And leave me nowhere, alone at the end of the day
So I smile in pain as the cold gets thawed
The end of winter and frost; I am awed
That in the great magnificent plan for my life
You have anointed and sealed and called me Your wife
And that ownership is something that can't be replaced
An easy access to the Light of Your Face
And freedom I have to run and jump in Your lap
Spill all of my worry and in Your peaceful arms nap
Content with the fact that You never shall change
That Your promises are true til the end of the age.
