delight

trust and dwell is what you say
delight and you'll give us our way?

is there more to that or simple steps
to sit with you leads us to blessed?

to depths we go in learning trust
and dwelling grows, as it must

for all the desires laying in our hearts
are ready for the taking, if only to start

to understand how to truly delight
in simple terms, to lay in sunlight

for sunlight offers its gift with ease
by asking us only to stop and receive

with just a simple spot to lay
we take in the gift, ray by ray

could it be so simple, that to delight
is like receiving simple sunlight?

it is, my sweet, that's all it is
to share in all He has and is

so stop we must, and receive we will
as we delight in Him and in the still

our hearts together and with this comes
the same desires, one by one

oh what a gift, oh what a delight
to sit and receive in His rays of sunlight!


(inspired by Psalm 37)
