Let love fall on solid ground;
Let it not diffuse like rain
Which, landing in the ocean
Disappears within again.
Let it fall like meteors;
Let it leave unearthly cracks
In solid earth, the canyons
Sending waves of mercy back.
Let a good catastrophe
Shake the earth in rushing light.
Blinded with the force of joy
May my foul heart be set right.
Roll the thunder, blaze the sun
Send the drumbeats booming, burst
The dam in waterfalls of you,
Grant my heart the beacon first.
Let it never cease from now
And on and on let mercy fall.
Beginning with myself tonight,
Until it burns the dross of all.

A simple plea to the Lord.
