about

from Psalm 16.

Lightly walking a red clay path, a heartland hymn, the voices full and sweet, weaving all together

but not far below is the wavering between certainty and doubt: magnetic poles, antipodes, far reaches of an orbit

where we abide, passing through day and night on our tilting axis, wavering through seasons, common time and waltz time, in ones and twos, in threes and fours, in whatever numbers we can name,

proceeding on our way, through space and in time, both held and hurled, whirling and still, in peace and in trouble, always and never, and in your goodness I’ll abide sometimes.

lyrics

Protect me, God
For I take refuge in you
Protect me, God
For I run to you

And I have said to the Lord
You are good above all others
But I have fled so far
And gave my heart to another

Who will save
my wandering ways?
Who will say
“you are safe, you are safe”?

God, you will not
Abandon me to the grave
Therefore I trust
in your goodness and your grace

You will show me life
And in your presence there is joy
I will rest each night
And in your goodness I’ll abide

Take my hand
Guide my heart and all my plans
Show me life
In this darkness and this night

In the darkness
How could I see?
You were with me

I know you’ll show me paths of life in time
And in your presence there is joy sometimes
I’ll rest each night in your comfort and love in time
And in your goodness I’ll abide sometimes
