by Mark Weinrich

It is the fragrance 
of a gentle mountain rain
when we’re carried away
to a soothing place
where we soak in the wonders
of His grace.

Agendas suspended,
no hurried pace, just
brothers and sisters
celebrating His goodness, 
the pouring out of His mercy
and peace.

How His Spirit weaves
our hearts together,
as we make time 
to listen and revel
in the greatness
of His transformations.

How our worship
swells into timelessness
as if this is the last time
until we breathe the breath
of heaven.
