All Things Considered

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
