Dancing in His sigh

By Sunny Kang - Press Service International

Blessed is the one who walks, not dances

In the counsel of the wicked, nor glances

In the seats of scoffers, but delights

In the bright lights of the Lord’s law 

Then, Lord, how is it that I flight

So quick, like a bird in fright,

Like a kite not quite held tight

When Thy word is in my sight?

O, how I had prayed that I might

Be a tree, planted by Thy sea

Of goodness, of mercy so free,

In Thy bright light, yielding fruit

Yet, Lord, here I waver, destitute

As my delight was not in the day

Or the night of meditations, but

In the way of brute sinners

I had thus become like a chaff,

Like a bird in a benighted sky,

Like a kite that flies to and fro

However the winds would blow

Blessed is the one that not dances

Yet I prance in the sky, in the wind,

In Your sigh, O Lord,

How I fly in your cry

Father, do not drive me away,

Do not blow me away in Thy sigh

Do not quench this flickering wick,

Nor break away this weak reed

Abba, hold this unyielding chaff

Tight, though I might fight despite

Your love, let it bind me, so that I’d see

My heart is restless, until it rests in Thee†

† “You have made us for yourself, O Lord, and our hearts are restless until they rest in you.” – St. Augustine

Sunny is as a weak as a broken reed, a flickering candle. But Abba God shows His abundant mercy again and again by incredibly loving this hopeless being. Soli deo Gloria.
