Before Opening

Come now, let us reason together, says the LORD... -Isaiah 1:18

Purge me with hyssop and I shall be clean; wash me and I shall

be whiter than snow. Fill me with joy and gladness;

let the bones which Thou hast broken rejoice.- Psalm 51:7-8

All wrapped, a gift for the

present. In dewed heart, in

drought. "Come now", He said,  

"let us reason together."

Song for a deeper listening.

Washing white as snow.

Rejoicing the bones.

As notes take form, to 

hold. Hold you as you hold

them. Holiness. Only

not as the world tries. Not

alone without Him. But

come now, and

let us reason.

Together.
