He Sets Me Down

He sets me down in quiet beauty 
and tells me to drink
to savour      to absorb His grace 
to feel His peace beating slowly in my veins 
He asks me to rest      to breath        to know
He waters me with love
and I grow petals of serenity
I reach out, "Abba"
I reach up
His smile fills me
and I glow the gospel
from my face
