You swept away all my fears.
You offered hope, renewed –
glistening, as dampened leaves
in eve, clad-en in autumn’s wold.
The showers to clear the mire,
to extend a white glove …
only to shew peace and love.
…a restful hope up above.
A-gain Lord, cleanse this soul
of any wickedness, by thy
power and blood.
As a child, I stand here asking
for healing…
from all that would separate
You from Me.
Restore this divine union, Amen.
