All Things Considered
All things considered
And contained inside
Or seized to my chest
Given for a season
Or stolen for a moment
All things considered
Some to return
And certain to keep
As the Spirit moves deep
Like His face over the waters
Not one is mine
To ask to own
But all
Live
Move
And have being
In You
So that the letting go
And the holding fast
Are one and the same
Together
A Whole
Directed by You
Of your will
Held together
By the Permanence
Of who you are
