abba's song

Opening Prayer: Give me ears, O God, to hear the beautiful song of love that you constantly sing over me.

Scripture: Zephaniah 3:17

Journal: What song do you think God sings over you?  What are the lyrics?  What is the melody?  What does it stir up within you?

Reflection:

abba’s song

zeph. 3:17

shhh

hush my child

listen

can you hear it

it is the song of 

delight and affection

i constantly sing

over you

this noisy world

and your fragile heart

make it hard 

to hear

but it is there

always there

it never stops

echoing 

slow your pace

and quiet your soul

and you will

hear it

once you do

you will never

be the same

again

for it will

awaken you

deep within

and bring you to life

in a way that 

makes you 

unable to live 

as you once did

for you will 

have heard the song 

from which and for which

you were made

and now 

all of life is 

a continual quest

to hear it again and again

so hush my child

be still and listen 

to my song of love

sung over you

love

abba

Prayer

Closing Prayer: Help me, O God, to listen to the song of love, delight, and affection that you sing over me.  And help me to dare to believe that it is true.  Amen.
