my favourite things/ I stand wrapped in You

I stand
wrapped
in You
in colours
of a Northern Spring

the setting sun
aflame with vibrant glow
bathing treetops gold
settling coral fire and
flaming pinks 
to wake my soul
and make it cry
Oh take me Lord

God's paintbrush swished
in softest blues
behind this fire
of sky and soul

awake O sleeping one

please
Shining Light
my Saviour dear
reveal in me
Your presence bright
burn all dross
refine my
very
being
until I shine
like this Spring night
Your Spirit
resting
on
my
soul

until Your love
alone
in me
does
glow

paint the blue
splash the coral fire
and flames in pink
touch my branches high
as Spring's new life
does wake each bough
and clothe in verdant greens
to be Your servant here
to shelter those
along this path
You bring
to find
Your
Peace

I stand
wrapped
in You
O Lord
in colours
of a Northern Spring
