Oh tough and distant daughter
Strong, upright, beheld brilliant in eyes of acres
When curtains pulled back
Reveal thy face before thy maker
Look deep beyond the temple veil
See thy glimmer shine of steadfast anchors
Think not oft of grace unearned, love undeserved
Remorseful deeds done and all thy breakers
What grace is grace if grace is earned?
What love is love if conditionally deserved?
Turn thy scheming fable into heart adjourned
Make oneself, one that can be learned
Oh weary one of wonder
Secure, steady, in hidden place of longing
When doubts arise in depths of soul
Allow thine knees to bend, face to fall in pining
Seek thee first not thy discontented own
Rather divine atone through thine refining
Teach thy heart of freedom grace, love for love's sake
Untangle chains; bring to point of not just shake but breaking
What freedom is free if not given freely to thee?
What breakthrough is true if not breaking you?
When sorrows like sea billows roll
Let Blood wash over thee, making whole
