Like a Branch in the Beak of a Bird on a Boat in a Sea

Shut my mouth to let me listen

Open my ears to hear the words I speak

 

Close my eyes and let light flow in

For from only the heart can vision see

 

Lord, I am lost

An infant foundling

And, so You sought and found me

Like a branch in the beak

Of a bird on a boat in a sea

Peace You gave me

 

Thorns and thistles bleached this dirty wool

Blood and sour vinegar, the debt's debt no longer known

 

I was lost

You found me

 

Like a tree on a mountain

Completely surrounded by an ocean of doubt

Grace and Hope and Mercy

And sound and sight and heart pounding

Like a dove descending south

The offering of Peace beaconed out

Beckoning: "Lost: Be Found."
