Wash Over Me

Wash Over Me

A Poem by Kelly D. Burris
"

Experience of being in God's presence...

"

 

Breath of Spirit, set me free
fill me, pour over me, love on me...
Skin electrified,
for you my heart is overwhelmed
you, who are in love with me...
Oh Lord, can I fathom your love for me,
unimaginable...
Let me then imagine,
for in my imagining, released to you
you speak to me...
Your love poured over me
like warm honey
filling me skin into soul...
Heal me, set free
from all that restrains
set me into the freedom of you...
Of your Spirit
Oh Lord, set me free to dance in this freedom
before you as a child,
the Son shining warm on my face
my hands playing in the air, as with unseen butterflies,
moving with the wind, hair flying
knees in the sand before you
praising you in your glory
as all creation cries out
"Praise to you our Creator!"
Wash over me, your peace
clean as white linen I am...
Set before me silence in expectation,
set before me stillness of expectation...
Golden hues of amber glory
radiating down over me
covering me, infilling me,
joy dawning in my heart
releasing the sunrise in my soul,
freeing my mind from depression and darkness...
My will, retreats
you step ever so lightly in...
my emotions rise in celebration
of your goodness and faithfulness
pour over me endlessly
for your mercies are new every morning...
Hands raised in praise to you, your goodness...
I come to the water of washing
your Spirit washing my mind...
