Rapture

Rapture

Do not hide or harden
quiet your passions
Silence the chatter
Beckon His capture

A still, silent heart 
is ripe for rapture

Rapture my riot
capture my chaos
Be-still my heart
YOU ARE: with us

A still, silent heart 
is ripe for rapture

The dead lifeless figment
that threatens to capture
Set ablaze and transform
with your net capture

A still, silent heart 
is ripe for rapture

A wandering heart 
with lust filled eyes
Come burst with your love
Lord; purify!

A still, silent heart 
is ripe for rapture

Allow He who hooked the fishermen
to pierce your heart
A sweet, sweet wound
at the hands of your Master

James, u have talent. I especially liked the rhythm and beat of the chorus, "A still, silent heart //is ripe for rapture."

Thanks so much Anil! I'm still new to posting and it's still a little unnerving to get my pieces out there, the encouragement is helpful! God bless you!
