tonight
I was entranced
by the light
of the
moon
I had to lay myself down
in the deep snowbank
and I wondered
while I watched
how we might
reflect the Son
so beautifully
could it be possible
to stop people in their tracks
for God's beauty reflected
take their breath away
the way the moon did to me this night!
only a moon
no light of itself
but for the sun
and us
clay
no light of our own
but breathed in
by Him....
and
made living
When He shines on us
just perhaps
people could catch a glimpse
of His beauty
of His glory
tonight
the moon sat cradled
in the arms of the aspens
I felt God's arms
hold me up
embrace me entirely
in all that He is
I close my eyes
and hear the softness of the night's caress
blue and deep around her golden orb
I feel heaven's touch
graced in the evening sky
I close my eyes
and wonder
will I hear His voice
soft on the wind
of the night
could I sweep up into the heavens
with the nighthawk
light on wing
and hear His breath
as He grants flight
or perchance
follow the cry of the owl
as it shadows
the small and helpless
seeking
His Hiding Place
a cleft in the Rock
the Shadow of His Wings
I am the small and helpless
tonight I take my flight to Him
He alone is my Refuge
my Strong Tower
His wings will lift me up
I will cradle in His arms
like the moonrise
and know love's embrace
His Light will hold me
sustain me
tonight He took my breath away
and gave it back again
fuller
stronger
even the darkness is Light to Him
tonight
I run freely
with the night
and dance in the Light
of the Son
embraced in His love
the moonrise
my favourite things
