The cause of mercies that settles nigh
The pause of goodness that oft passes by
What shall I see in awaken’d times?
The rise and fall of harmonic rhymes
For all I embrace is the breath of life
Casting off all clinging strife
Here now my wanting eyes meet
The One who is about Mercy’s seat
And I know my walk is worth more
Than vain promises at enticing door
God sheds light upon this deep season
For I see goodness inside and outside of reason
Forward moving in fearless gait
Knowing purpose rarely arrives late
To heaven i gaze upward again
Only to find eternity already abides within.
