Poem
Into the cycles of our daily lives
When all seems well
With us and with the world,
When our yoke is easy
And the burden light,
You break in God
And scatter our complacency

Into the cycle of our lives
When we are comfortable 
And at our ease,
When the fire is lit
But eyes are closed,
You break in God 
And challenge our dependency.

You break into
Our daily prayers,
Humble hearts,
Lay souls bare,
You break in Lord,
You break in.

You break in
When defenses are down,
With an Angel’s shout
Or the quietest sound,
You break in Lord,
You break in.

And we change
And all things change
When you break in.

By John Birch
Methodist Lay Preacher
