The Forgotten Incident

The Forgotten Incident

Lord, call me, call me from this boat, “Come out!”

I hear his call, I hear his voice, his summon shout

I would rather die in this tumultuous sea

Than to live in the place that isn’t me

I stand and go to the edge, the step

Where everything is a heaving and shrieking storm

There He stands, out in the midst of it all

Every voice within me saying to stay in the norm

I cannot stand in this safety here

I cannot be still when His voice I hear

I know that being with Him surely is my life

I step off the edge, I step into the night...

I walk amongst the angel platoons

amongst stars and planets and skies and moons

Water changes beneath my feet

as to my Soul and Life I meet

I have never before been gripped by such a Love
