Into the Beam

You call us

into the beam, 

away from ball

and chain

from crumbling hillsides,

bribes and lies,

into Majesty

peace, rest

where souls sit down

around Your feet,

where whirls cease

where we are alone

with You
in fullness;

a river of light

delights, heals.

            Janie Seltzer

"How precious is Your unfailing love, O God!

All humanity finds shelter

in the shadow of Your wings.

You feed me from the abundance
of Your own house,

letting them drink from Your river of delights.

For You are the fountain of life,

the light by which we see."  Psalm 36:7-9
