Comfort

Thou hast tapered with the sword and struck our heart
and so peppered are our inwards and salted by thine art
thou hast softened steel and disarmed the cannon
where upon we drink of watered rock and manna
for fortunes sought we would deny for Love of thee
and banish all hatred to swim within your sea

And be hid to those who knowest naught
but sheltered heart art concealed by our thought
that served by golden charger all we sacrifice
upon the alter to our God for whom we you entice
tis but the architecture of the God of heaven
where his form is presented without worldly leaven

That thou mightest look beyond the shadows seen
and know openly what exists within mankinds being
thou hast known the darkness where Love is lost
and the sleepless nights its pain and its cost
the adversary does drive the stake to create our death
but God has by his Son resurrected to Life its breath

Takest thou affection and make our friend and ally
and openly reveals the secret torments we cry
no longer conceal that men are but stone and dust
till we know there is no one but you whom we can trust
and cast we are in the mold of fallen fathers being
and contained within the wild beast we are releasing

That in our flesh there is a war fraught with contention
so that Truth can conquer and overcome its dissention
write on the blackboard a hundred times that God is Love
to have given thought each sentence that he is of us above
for there is no wisdom if Love you do not fear
as you will concede that its requirements draw near

taught you have that mankind is like a flock of sheep
where their shepherds lead is where they lay in sleep
unto the pressure of their peers slumbering so deep
and understanding a state to walk in hardly keep

Dost thou think in all you can conceive and create
that with Faith and Love can you the universe remake
for in unity the Sons of God with Father become one
and all together do his will until completions done
what did you ask for when before the cosmos you prayed
for the lusts of your desire or the Truth the Father paid

Did you want to understand the thoughts of Father Jah
who robed within his Son the divinity we laud
though scorched we are by fire till not sensitive to pain
until we become like children and learn to trust again
embraced within your arms head laid upon your chest
this the place of comfort and seek we there our rest

Tis but the cost of Love to be a wounded soul
and its groaning for completion to be made whole
when you have suffered the contents of it stole
knowing oneself not worthy its honor or praise to extol

How can something so minute hope to understand
the breadth of Loves majesty offered by your hand
a gift you give to us all that you gave your Son
that within ourselves his divinity for us won
what could ever separate us from the hope of you
persecution hunger danger sword from Loving what is True

We have left our own works to walk within your rest
exists there is nothing but lovingkindness in your breast
the World bent on violence and the hatred of the mad
its cruelty and suffering that hurts a heart so bad
So tender the affection for those of us young
to draw us closer and embrace the Song Jesus sung

Enclose as a mother does a child within her arms
to clasp us in safety protect us from all harms
resplendent are the gifts you offer to man to find
no where else will we ever find personality so kind
gentle compassion for our weakness lenience
filled with your feeling understanding can commence

The bowels of your affection Light of being when
absorbed by your spirit true learning can begin
you have showered us with kindness even blind who cannot see
the rains and sun and seasons though fallen we do be
for Loves existence is beyond all man can reason
the warmth of his Son the rise of spring in its season

The silk of waters that slide across our skin
abides the apex of all that man can feel within
choose to walk where every minute can be and hour
to be immersed in Love is Gods Spirit power
no height or depth can its energy resist
it is the Truth and Light that God has his children kissed

There within the marriage the compliments of two
where the comforts of Love and unity have us drew
and the ointment of healing our true Spirit is revealed
the things of God that the adversary has concealed
harden not our hearts and driven chased away
but show us how your splendor like Jesus to display

Where in we walk and talk of it each day
for this is the Truth of Jesus taught his Way
when I gazed into your eyes I perceived the loss of Love
shattered were the bowels endearment you'd been dreaming of
I can finally say I have loved a man tis true
Life will never be the same if I exist alone without you
