“What if I stretch out my arm and my fingertips
could feel the cloth that covers your body
and in my unworthiness
your
healing
found a home
in the fabric of my sinful past
and now willing heart
and hope
could bind me to you
and I could find shelter
in the swaddling garments of your love
and I could discover
my heart
dazzling white with newness
and what if I learn that I am clothed in such mercy
that I realize how to reach out to the naked and vulnerable
to dress them with justice and forgiveness
and house them in hope
because your healing
extends through every thread of my life
as I learn to wear your garment
that was tossed to the side in your empty tomb
that I now wear since I was washed in your waters of dying and rising
and you toweled me clean and wrapped me warm
and your garments will even cover my casket after my last breath
and I shall be at home in you
fully clad in tenderness and peace?”
THIS IS IT!!!!
Oh so beautiful…yes indeed..what if….
