This prayer came to me yesterday, when I had to get up early for a hospital appointment. It was difficult to write, but finally came together during the afternoon, as I slept and woke repeatedly:
To you, O LORD, I lift up my soul (Psalm 25:1; ESV).
Prayer is like a dream of God –
Absorbed by love which never ends,
By truth and light; by strength and fire;
By peace, to which my soul ascends.
Prayer is like a dream of God –
At one, in love which never dims,
And so, with childlike trust, I praise
The Lamb, who takes away my sins.
The next day John saw Jesus coming toward him and said, “Here is the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world!” (John 1:29; CSB).
