You removed Your God-sandals and entered my lonely heart!
Broke the lock.
Unlatched the hooks and chains.
Rain-soaked, You appeared at the door of my room;
whispered my name –
the one You first knew me by.
I heard You with all my heart.
O sweet Grace, just an inkling of Your bounty
and my shallow vessel overflows!
You know well my heart, Lord.
You’ve been there before –
the light that follows You
flooding its dark chambers with beauty.
O child of God, on the threshold, look: His holy sandals!
Search your barren house for the long-awaited Beloved One.
