{":Swept Away:"}

WHEN YOU WELCOME GOD'S COMPANIONSHIP

AND THE DARKEST HOURS OF YOUR LIFE,

WHEN YOU KEEP ON WALKING BY FAITH ON THE DARKER PARTS OF THE PATH,

YOU ARE GIFTED WITH MOMENTS OF WONDERFUL ELATION -

AS IF YOU ARE JOINING

WITH HEAVEN IN A CELEBRATION

THAT IS A TINY SHADOW

OF WHAT IT WILL BE LIKE WHEN WE GET HOME.

THE CLOSER WE PUSH UNTO THE HEART OF GOD,

THE MORE

WE ARE SWEPT AWAY

BY THE JOY THAT IS HIS BREATH AND LIFE AND GIFT US ALL.
