Waters of Azure Blue
by Kathleen HighamI am floating, floating, floating
On waters of azure blue
Billowing clouds caress the sky
Mesmerized by all You do
Breathing in the salty air
Surrounded by such love
Incredulous of Your creativity
Touching me from above
Creatures come to greet me
Reaching down into the sea
Silky waves embracing
My God, my God, I'm free
Massive wings hover gracefully
Landing gently by my side
A bird created intimately
In an instant, my heart cried
Oh, the vastness of the ocean
I am deeply awed by You
Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful
Lord, thank you for this view
Imagining the sights of Heaven
Seeing it through Your eyes
Feeling Your breath upon me
As Your holy wind sighs
So close, so close to Glory
My senses acutely aware
Encompassed by the Father
I know it, know He's there
So, I await in absolute joy
On waters of azure blue
In that moment of ecstasy
Till I ride a wave to You.
