The thin place

P74

Let us pause at this thin place where Heaven invades the earth.
Let us pause at this thin place and consider what is of eternal worth:
Quiet places and scared places,
Warm embraces and friendly faces,
Wisdom from saintly sages,
Bibles with worn pages,
And
Unnecessary hymn books because you know the words.
These are the rare holy thin places where we meet the Lord.

When death comes and calls my name
And life in this realm ends
I pray my soul shall take flight
To a world where no shadow bend.
And in that world I hope to see
Many bright and familiar faces
As we sing and shout
Of God's amazing graces.
