(St Emilie’s, Prince of Peace)
 
Standing in the foothills of the mountain of the Lord,
I look up.
I see the amazing beauty and power of His Creation
As His light bursts forth from His Holy Heart.
 
We see His majesty, clothed in a radiant sun –
Son of God, blessing us all.
 
Come let us glorify Him, for He loves us!
‘Come, let us go up, to the mountain of the Lord.’ (Isaiah 2)
 
Take a step, move towards Him,
Climb His mountain, and refuse to stumble…for He calls us.
Deny the shadows that loom, for darkness tries to threaten.
 
Fear not! For He draws us – can you hear Him?
 
A magnificent voice, a booming sound, is carried on the wind.
 
‘Come, follow Me, to the mountain top. I am waiting for you,
with open arms.
Dodge the blind spots, run from the shade, race towards the Light –
For a new dawn is rising. Its joyful rays will bathe you. I AM here –
Light from Light - to cover you and fill you, to bless you and love you…
Eternally,
 
‘For I am the everlasting God – the Alpha and Omega;
the Beginning and the End.’
