"Lenten Psalm"
By Edward Hayes
From the ashes of firs of blessed palms
To Alleluia fires of Easter eve
To Alleluia fires of Easter eve
May Lent’s forty days
Be dancing flames of love’s delight
Be dancing flames of love’s delight
May you live these Lenten days not in purple penitential denial
But in joyfulness of the intimate embrace of your Beloved God
But in joyfulness of the intimate embrace of your Beloved God
May you hear on the Lenten winds your Beloved calling you daily
To go apart from your routine time
To spend desert time with your God
To go apart from your routine time
To spend desert time with your God
Then your heart can freshly be aflame
With a lover’s delight in your God.
With a lover’s delight in your God.
