Advent 2012 : Day 17




O Adonai


He falls, arms outstretched,

at my feet. His eyes meet mine,

imploring me to lift him up

and hold him in my arms;

my heart is in my mouth, again.


He runs, arms outstretched,

to my side. His eyes meet mine,

imploring me to lift him up

and hold him in my arms;

my heart is in my mouth, again.


He dances, arms outstretched,

before the fire. My eyes meet his,

inviting him to lift me up

and hold me in his arms;

my heart is in my mouth, again.


He hangs, arms outstretched,

from a tree. His eyes meet mine,

imploring me to lift him down

and hold him in my arms;

my heart is in my mouth, again.



Exodus 3



O Adonai

O Adonai, and leader of the House of Israel,

who appeared to Moses in the fire of the burning bush

and gave him the law on Sinai:

Come and redeem us with an outstretched arm.
