In Him I Dwell

“I let go- and heaven rushed in,

like wind through the hollow of my chest.

The weight I bore dissolved in light,

and peace became my breath.

No longer striving, no more fear,

just stillness where He came to stay.

His Spirit filled the aching space,

and swept the dark away.

In every breath, His mercy swells-

and in that grace I found myself.

Unbound, unmasked, I rise and tell:

I am most me, in Him I dwell.”
