Blessed

“Blessed” is my statement of faith
and “Blessed” is my thanksgiving.

Blessed by the mystery when God is hidden
and blessed to be ever within God’s sight.

Blessed to walk this twisting path
and blessed to fall upon the Rock.

Blessed to wait for the Spirit
and blessed in the seeking.

Blessed to be hungry for God
and blessed to be sustained.

Blessed for the 2am fear and longing,
and blessed in the morn’s dawning.

Ah, holy God, bless my wrestling and my resting;
multiply my faith and my thanksgiving
so that you too are blessed.
