REELING

Zephaniah 3:17 “He will rejoice (spin with joy) over you with singing”

Let go of the future—
Let go of the past.
In His holy Presence
Learn to fast.

Rejoice in the being
Of our God and King.
Know jubilation.
Learn to sing.

The very auroras
Speak with romance.
If He is for us
We can dance.

The galaxies spiral
As children spin
To mimic the motion
Of God’s joy within.

Come join in the flurry
That sings in the stars
Embrace Him, O hurry
To grasp what is ours.

A jubilant universe
Rollicks around
A ravishing eminence
Nothing can sound.

For Jesus has spoken
His passionate will.
The Bride has his token.
Now who can be still?
