Isaiah 40:9

Get you up to a high mountain,
   O Zion, herald of good tidings;
lift up your voice with strength,
   O Jerusalem, herald of good tidings,
   lift it up, do not fear;
say to the cities of Judah,
   ‘Here is your God!’

A voice beyond all others

There is a Voice

beyond all others

the heart strains

to hear, for it is life

and joy, bringing

news of the love that

comes anew every

morning awakening

hope for the day when

waiting is done and

fullness comes.

Trained by Love

to want nothing but

the love …Love is,

the heart, finely

tuned, leans forward

to capture every sound

and syllable, every

note and song yearning

for the moment,

word and note make magic

and the wanted news

fills the heart with the

wonder for which

every heart hungers.

Rise up O Voice, and

speak, sing, shout

the morning song that

fills the heart,

strengthens soul

and makes alive

once more.

Pr. David L. Miller
