Above clouding noise
Above erasing passions
Above tides of bleak tiredness
in the midst of daily routines
In dark nights of the soul,
the God of life echoes
a call
reverberating again and again
A kick beat into my life
penetrating extreme sound
Shaking my inner soul
Creating a transparent heart
before the Creator God.

Awareness arises
I have nothing
standing
crystal-clear before Christ’s journey
crystal-clear in front of the cross
Before this love 
Poured down, poured out,
overflowing, deep beyond deep
I stop, talk to God
Press pause...
Press pause...

And now in the silence
immersed between the echoes
a silence stretching eternity
into its depths,
holy love intertwines 
profound closeness, meaning
questions and realities
into the space,

How can I not smile in this love?
How can I not cry in this love?
How can I not wonder in this love?
How can I not be in this love?
How can I not find peace in this love?
How can I respond in worship to this love?
My God, my King.

Starting Thoughts: In the noise and routines of life, the business, can we press pause… and rest in the silence immersed between the echoes and listen, become aware of God's love.
