A stark glance at starbirth
The haunting now replaced
In explosions of her music
Through the once forgotten place
The vivid red velvet
Of a redawning star
Once a time to remember
Forgotten still thus far
Born into wealth
Colliding within
Awakened refrains
Asleep in the din
Beginnings of nothing
New strawberry haze
Lost in her revolt
And lost in heaven’s gaze
do not mistake
my kindness
for weakness
for infortiftude
for a lack of fire, verve, strength
i am beauty
i am softness
i am flight
i am love
and yet
i am the tower
stretching to heaven’s gate
i am the root
of the ancient redwood
i am the wave
crashing on the beach
beneath the timeless cliffs
of eternity
i am creation
i am destruction
i am the fullness
of masculine ardor
of writhing passion
of unmaskable longing
of unshakable truth
so
do not mistake
my kindness
for a lack
of pure and utter passion
of towering strength
of masculine perfection
i
am man
Surrender to the place
Where only love is found
There you’ll hear the angels
Singing a heavenly sound
Accept the life that’s yours
And share it with the world
See the gifts that breathe
New life in them unfurled
Ask for God’s bright blessings
Receive them in your soul
Believe in Love’s great miracle
And be at once made whole
Peace will shine upon you
The Light that’s always on
Shining through the darkness
As night gives way to dawn
Dive into infinity
Feel the love of all
One in heaven’s wonder
Answer now the call
Perfection is upon us
Seen with open eyes
Humble, pure, and true
From darkness now we rise
Surrender now to love
Let love be all you see
Following hope and peace
God’ true mystery
Your freedom floods
This child’s heart
Forever alive
From the very start
Grace pervades
Where love is born
Child of wonder
Your light adorn
Seeking all
One in Christ’s mind
Heaven’s glory
In a child divine
God of all creation
Fill us in your power
Place your hand upon us
Touch us, Lord, this hour
Glory shines now through us
Flooded in heaven’s light
Immersed in your perfection
You set our hearts aright
Bear our burdens, Father
Saved by the Lamb of grace
Let your love shine through us
In the image of a Savior’s face
