My soul is moving forward
Towards an Odyssey unknown
The destination certain-
And surely far from home.
Many Rivers yet to cross
And mountains high to climb
Whose paths held secret deep in
The weathered hands of time.
When the valleys stretch beyond
My preferred length of stay
emotions will strain against
what’s given for today.
Then my thoughts begin to roam
And long to jump ahead
To what lies behind the next
mountain or river bend.
This journey long beholding
Can weary heart and mind
Yet held within Savior’s gaze
Staves off the daily grind.
Now as my soul moves forward
Towards this Odyssey unknown
I find my sole Companion
Has set my heart at home.
Love entwined two separate Souls
Mortal merged with Divine
I find myself held in Him
No longer bound by time.
My eternity is now
Found in revelation
That the Odyssey Himself
Is the destination.
