Poem: Come to Good

Poem by Voirrey Faragher

May we, in our stillness speak to thee?
In this wooden house let us bless each other
        and be blessed.
May we see your glory, hear your peace
      in this valley of birdsong.
We have waited long,
      and yearned
      and felt thy hand upon us.

You have risen and we have seen you
    as the moon in the dark sky,
    as the stars in the brightness.
We have heard you, 
    as the light hears the sun,
    as the earth hears the rain.
Behold, we are here
    and in our hearts hold love
    and in our bodies hold love
    and in our souls hold love.
