I felt Your nearness like a gentle breeze,
stirring the curtains of my heart.
For a fleeting moment
the veil was lifted,
and nothing was sweeter
than Your Presence.
Now I drift upon the sea,
lost without You,
yet still I struggle to surrender.
I resist the tide
and cling desperately
to all that keeps me distant from You.
Would a fish fear drowning?
I am astonished by my own foolishness,
yet still I persist.
Without Your support
I cannot even seek Your support.
O Lord —
open the way for me.
Make easy my path.
Remove from me
all that stands between my heart
and You.
