Warm and Close


How can I warm up to Almighty God?
How can I close in on the Trinity?
Yet, Lord, You made me, wouldn't it be odd
if You were not now warm and close to me?

With You inside me there's no space between
us two, for me to hide or stand away;
on One so close it wouldn't hurt to lean,
to One so warm it wouldn't hurt to pray.

My Father wants obedience for love,
dear Jesus wants me to see Him in others,
the Spirit asks I aim for what's above,
like focus more on helping here my brothers.

Closeness to God has little mystery,
and coolness melts with warm humility.
