"Power of my Power"

"Power of my Power"

A Poem by Luthien of the Woods
"

'a reflection inspired by an Irish hymn."

"

My arms are too short

I cannot reach your abode

So power of my power

you reached down to me.

My eyes are blinded

I cannot see beyond myself

So power of my power

you touched my eyes

and now I see.

 

My mind is too narrow

I cant understand your will

So power of my power

You gave me wisdom

that I get what you mean.

My heart is too weak

I can't keep your promise

So power of my power

You gave me your Name

that I can stake my life on it.

 

Finally you gave me your Son

the Infinite One

that I will comprehend

the depth of your love.

 

Power of my power

He is.
