In the place of rest
St Germanus Priory Church, Cornwall
In the place of rest
My heart is pulled to this out of the way place
An edge of the world,
The wide stretched beyond
River to sea to over the horizon
What exploits happened here?
What faith rose to the throne of God?
I’m waiting, pondering, whispering my prayers
Mingling mine with theirs
Letting my heart soar.
Will my heart be read as theirs was read?
Will my prayers be heard just as theirs ascended?
May my heart crying out, ‘Come Lord Jesus come’ be rising to heaven
We need you Lord!
Visit us once more.
Dwell in our midst.
Kingdom come!
Your will be done
On earth as it is in heaven.
Come Lord Jesus, come.
