The Ruach of God

By Patty Juster

Oh, gentle breath caressing my soul
In coolness, my ache you do soothe
Touching me with whispering softness
The Ruach speaking, love’s note endearing,
“It is I, drink this heaven’s nectar,
From luscious fruit like honey dripping.”

Blessed assurance, your presence felt
Your strength filling my weakening frame
Daily I live by your sweet arm’s embrace,
Your voice encouraging always does say,
“Peace, my daughter, I am with you today.”

Eternity coursing through my veins,
Your life in my life, how can this be
Behind the veil, secretly you lead me
In a crystal sea you let me play.
Glory afresh now covering my shame
At last my feet dancing, for freedom singing.
“Holy, Holy,” your heart does beat my name.
O’er me, in me, I am yours,
Hallelujah,
I’m sealed in your fame.
