The valley of vision

"The valley of vision"

Lord.
High and Holy
meek and lowly.
You have brought me to the valley of vision.
Where I live in the depths
but see you in the heights;
hemmed in by mountains of sin
I behold your glory.
Let me learn by paradox that
the way down is the way up,
that to be low is to be high,
that the broken heart is the healed heart,
that the contrite spirit is the rejoicing spirit,
that the repenting soul is the victorious soul.
That to possess nothing is to possess all
that to bear the crow is to wear the crown.
That to give is to receive,

that the valley is the place of vision.
