A poem for my God

You love me with strong love
     that weathers storms
     and heals my pain
     and lasts through drought and doubt and Seattle rain.
You fill me with redeeming joy
     that harmonizes with my cries
     and colors up deep trials
     protection from lies.
You cover me with favor anew
     like fresh water, saturating dew.
My heart is full, my questions lull
     I rest my head and close my eyes,
     Heaven awaits. My song, my light.
     No tears, no night.
Turn me once again, here.
     Lift me now to gaze upward.
     My call, my life, my inheritance.
