I love how Your love
makes
A shiny sweet temptation
taste        like          sand
Like    something    bland
and undesirable

I love how Your words
make another's scorn
that would normally scar
and tear and burn
feel like tasty bread
that leads us to Your water

I love how
Your
       shelter

makes the waves
And the thunder into
silly           surmountable
things
Things that only usher us
back to that
Breathtaking
P a n o r a m a of Your arms

And I love how Your affection
makes perfection of
a heart that's bro  ken
Strengthens (what the world
calls weak)
   

                                      cheek
and lifts                wounded
                        a

So bring the sting
of disapproval
      Slash this face and
                         break
                       this will
I have a Love that
             Can't
be severed
I have a strength
that suffering builds
