Deep In This Ocean Of Love

I see Your hand

reaching out to me.

You’re standing deep.
You beckon me.

“In this ocean of grace,

Come deeper with me,

you’ll see.”

It’s a hand that I hold

I’m not just told.

I know.

Days go by,

then today, they fly.
I see it now,

This hand.

And I say.
“Bring me.”

Ready for anything,

It’s safe here with you.

You dive and you swim

you’re smiling so free,

like a dolphin, so smooth.

You show me how I can be, too

Here with you.

Just me, not enough

Diving in,

There’s a grace that I need.

A love I can’t strum up.

I sometimes just waste it,

still there’s so much more.

I think of what I’ve wasted,

and miss,

even worse

Your Love came first.

You laugh as you say,

without malice or strife.
“Do I look like I hold a grudge?”

Your words are so light and do true,

not a worry or care.
no drip of shame.

My mind instantly sees the cross,

where you bore it all,

said it was done.

That says it all,

then I turn to you now.
In the water,

so true,

Deep and blue.

Now the fun has begun,

there’s no sacrilege

You’re adventure and Love

Yes you don’t hold a grudge.

You came so I could really live.

Free as a bird, swimming deep in an ocean,

more good than I know.

But I’m diving right in.

“Tell your kids about me. Teach them to swim.
Generations have been wading.
It’s time to go deeper.
Now won’t you come right in.
Come deep in my ocean.

My grace truly abounds.
Stop with the sprinkler

and just drips of my love

Dive in the ocean

come in,

Oh, come in.”
