As the first morning light begins to crawl over the mountain top

I find You there, ever so faithful, You wait for me on the cliffside

We sit together and I am overwhelmed with the love of Your presence

The song of my spirit pours out and is met by the song of Your own

Intertwined and dancing, we are one and I am whole

You lead me down to the edge of the forest

My heart quickens as my spirit anticipates what is coming

“Run with Me.”

Your words wash over me as my feet set in motion

With every step I feel my spirit soar

A freedom that cannot be found somewhere else

We are running together

It does not matter where our feet travel

In this moment all I feel is Your joy as You run beside me

The world around us a blur, it is only You I see

This is how it feels to be alive

Our running slows as the light begins to wane

We find ourselves back where we started

Taking in the beauty of creation

Please, I beg, do not let this moment end

My beloved speaks to me

“Do not be anxious of My love

Until the day is through, I am with you

As you slumber, I will sing over you

And in the morning, I will meet you again, here, on the cliffside.”
