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!
