Invited into deeper waters –
I wade past mires and griefs.
Invited into deeper waters –
Past the stagnant places and into the sea.
Will I give to You that most precious thing –
Heart of my heart, the music in my blood?
Will I give to You that most precious thing –
The complete abandonment of trust?
Invited into deeper waters where You are wading –
Where You are waiting,
Hands outstretched,
Nail-scars as vivid as fire.
“Set me as a seal upon your heart,
As a seal upon your arm –
For love is strong as death,
Jealousy is fierce as the grave.
Its flashes are flashes of fire,
The very flame of the Lord.”
