Bathed
by Tom Watson

Such a joyful weariness
I feel
For He has blessed
Me as I kneel.

He has touched my soul;
Lit my heart;
Made my life whole;
Given me a fresh new start.

Weariness from exhilarating love
Washes me,
Leaving strength enough,
To write, that you may see.

Bathed in His light,
I stand refreshed;
By His glory, I am dried
As all my sins are confessed.

I am cleansed in His word;
Bathed by the music heard;
Seeded in His miraculous birth;
Freed from the caves of this earth.

His blood flows from the cross above,
Falling over me as a spring of love;
His anguish bringing tears,
Washing me of my sinful years…
