If it’s true,
as I believe it to be,
that The Gospel Essence
is You
whispering: “Trust me!”
then,
much as in creation,
as wings were spoken onto
the very first bird
the very first word
is Yours.

Whenever
I call out,
You’ve already
called me in.
When I’m
getting ready to shout
already
my screams
are drowning
in this silent shoreless sea
of Just
Trust
Me!

So, let all my prayers be echoes.
I can do nothing but respond.
My prayerbook is a “Yes!”
that I’m daily working on.

The First Word is Yours,
now as it was in the past.
One day in the future
I hope to trust enough
to give You
The Last.
