Where the Oil Meets the Brine

A Poem By Joy Aletheia Stevens

~

In my darkest hour your light will shine

Where the oil meets the brine

In my heart, in its dilution

You will not hinder Your purification

~

As I seek You in all earnest

You will put me through the furnace

Cut and polish my diamond heart

Till, turned towards You, it’s shining starts

~

And the brilliance of Your eye’s

Let their perfection shine, uncompromised

Reflected in the steps of my life

Lord, I will wed, and be Your wife

~

You’ve made me white

~Joy Aletheia Stevens
