Jesus, true joy

Jesus, true joy
All the rest fading, flying, winding to shadow
Wild heart, marred soul,
Seeping sickness of empty sin-pleasures –

All reaching rivers of unrest,
All vanity-cries silenced by Your blood

Winter’s sunlight
Dark night’s dawn
Victorious Calling, Clearing, Cleansing

Enigma guarding and silent
Abundance in origin
Exploding into radiant red,
Exploding into beauty
Jesus, true joy

    It’s been a while since I have had time to catch up on your blog. This post was good medicine for me today. After a 40 minute battle with a 2 year old over nap time, I desperately needed to be pointed to my Jesus–true joy!!!

    I enjoyed these lines a lot:

    All reaching rivers of unrest,
    All vanity-cries silenced…
