My heart and mind are full tonight of implications from the sermon I heard at church a few hours ago. But I need time to pray and process through them, so instead I am posting a poem from one of my faith heroes, Amy Carmichael. I wrote an earlier post about her that you can read here.
This is a poem of hers that I wanted to post. You can find it in Mountain Breezes: The Collected Poems of Amy Carmichael. I hate that title, but I love many of the poems.
Cords of Love
O Beloved of my soul,
This do I desire:
Faith for the impossible,
Love that will not tire.
Jesus, Savior, Lover, give me
Love for the unlovable
Love that will not tire.
O Beloved of my soul,
Yet again I come;
Give me cords of love to draw
Many wanderers home.
Jesus, Savior, Lover, give me
Love that knows no strain nor flaw—
Love to lead them home.
