O Lord
You are my Pole Star
My centre of gravity
The need of my heart
The will of my mind
My centre
My circumference
My radius
My diameter.
You send your
Depth charge into
My deepest longings
And give me your very own
Personal belonging.
You have shown
Me my centre
Of balance
How you created me
With an inbuilt
Balance that sustains me
That balance is your Cross.
Your Resurrection Cross
For me.
You came to the end of yourself on this earth
So that I could come to the beginning of myself in
Eternity
Starting the very moment
I said to you
“You are the one Lord Jesus
The only one.”
That moment of belonging gained
When you transferred
Your
Glory
On to me
A sinner.
