Crossing and dwelling
My Soul, a boat unto Thy Shores
I pray for winds to Guide and Reach
To land, and curiously to explore
To be the same no more.
Heart-waves breaking onto Crashing Shore
Thy Peace, overflows my broken raft
And, leaking, weeping, with breast-filled ache
I am shipwrecked in Thy Grace.
May I ever rest with Thee
In this most sacred inner place.
Rev. Jenny Miller
