myriad ways to your heart

and how will He reach you?
in a myriad ways
in a myriad, mysterious ways
He will find His way to you
He will seek you out

your longing heart
His Joy to bring
this Love upon you
this overflowing Joy
this tender Mercy
this warm Embrace

this faithful Friend
Who would not give up
not for one moment
while you run and hide
while you backslide
while you kick and scream
and beat at your chest

O Patient One
O Loving Friend
O my best Beloved
O Quickener!
O Thou Abiding One!

i sing out now
and shout from rooftops
this Joy, this tremendous
humbling Joy.
