Lily

Like a lily, You clothe me,
Homespun in Your glory,
Handcrafted like a flower;
You are, and You are making me
Be
Even sweeter than before,
Purity is Your fragrance,
Intimacy is Your friendship,
Pull me closer; hold me tighter
In an embrace that draws me nearer, my Father;
For You are
Even greater

You desire me with love,
You fashion me in loving-kindness,
You cover me in grace,
You beckon me in forgiveness,
You fill me with rain
To spring a garden in my being—
You are
And You will keep me,
Delicately.
You hold me, clothe me
Like a lily in the grass,
From the Land of the Great I Am
