I dance a song of silence

Bernard Wosien

You who move the world
Now move likewise me -
Lifting me up high
From earthly depths to you

I dance a song of silence
To music of the spheres -
And as I set my foot
At heaven's very brink
I feel Your smile
Touch me with joy.

Quote of the Day

Teach me to be love
as You are Love;
Lead me through each fear:
Hold my hand as I walk through
valleys of illusion each day,

That I may know your Peace.
I believe that I shall know the
Realm of Heaven,
of Love, here on Earth!

~ Nan Merrill, from her interpretation of "Psalm 27" in PSALMS FOR PRAYING
