God gathers me from the edges
Where my spirit frays
His voice a low thunder
Calling me back into myself
He lays calm across my chest
Like cool water over embers
And the wildness inside me
Finally exhales
Through valleys where shadows
Learn my name
God walks as a burning hush
A presence that turns fear
Into smoke
His goodness trails me
Like a soft footed guardian
His mercy folds itself
Into every step I take
And I move forward
Heart steady
Toward the house of God
Where my soul
Is never a stranger
