COME

 "Softly and tenderly, Jesus is calling,

Calling for you and for me;

See on the portal, He's waiting and watching,

Watching for you and for me.

Come home, come ho-ome;

You who are weary come home..."

Hear the resonant voice, prickling calmness calls.

It's your name on His lips.

Can you perceive His smile at you,

Stretching up the lip line towards the oral commissure in excitement of your comeback?

How long? How long have you gone? —

Swum or drowned in the pool of all wrongs.

Is it deeper than the Pacifics?

Take a deep breath!

There's no count of them when you wilfully run to His wide open arms, breathing life.

Ten thousands are already bouncing off the walls about your comeback.

Here is a balm for your soul,

Come home!
