Father, rule and reign in me
Your hand to me extend—
Yours to mine in sweet mercy
often in this begin of day.
My shuttered eyes awaken
to Your living presence—
breathe again heaven’s breath,
I pray You rouse and reign in me.
Father, train and give tight rein
again to gain my ear
in openness to remain.
Speak Your deep beauties to baptize
with Spirit’s fragrance
in Your closeness, Your freshness,
breathe Your presence so I live again,
quickened at Your word.
—Donna Hunsberger
