My soul is at rest in You, <br />For I am like a tree <br />planted beside streams of water, <br />bearing fruit in season. <br /> <br />My mind is fed by You <br />For Your wisdom comes <br />like fresh rain on parched land, <br />growing oaks of righteousness. <br /> <br />My heart is refreshed by You <br />As softly You speak in Spirit <br />like a gentle breeze at Horeb, <br />each breath a speech of love. <br /> <br />My being is lifted in You <br />As I scale to the Rock higher than I <br />reaching clouds of Your Presence, <br />standing in the heights of refuge. <br /> <br />You dress me up with Peace, <br />Adorn me Kindness, Joy, and Love- <br />Your Faithfulness embraces me, <br />And I enjoy being with You, God. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />----- <br /> <br />'O God, You are my God, earnestly I seek you; my soul thirsts for You, my body longs for You, in a dry a weary land where there is no water.' <br /> <br />PSALM 63: 1 <br /> <br /> <br /> ----- <br />Copyright Cynthia Buhain Baello <br />April 5,2009 <br />Philippines<br /><br />Cynthia BuhainBaello<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/enjoying-the-presence-of-god/
