@TolkienWonder Sitting here in the Smoky Mountains, in Tennessee, listening to the river run and the birds chirp, with The Fellowship of the Ring in my hands. Doesn’t get much better than this. @malcolmguite

Now to the gate of my Jerusalem,
The seething holy city of my heart,
The saviour comes. But will I welcome him?

Look back on us and bless us, Ireland’s son,
And plant the staff of prayer in all we do:
A gospel seed that flowers in belief,
A greening glory, coming into leaf.

Six years a slave, and then you slipped the yoke,
Till Christ recalled you, through your captors cries!
Patrick, you had the courage to turn back,
With open love to your old enemies,

In three in one and one in three, in rhyme,
In music, in the whole creation story,
In His own image, His imagination,
The Triune Poet makes us for His glory,

@EBischoff @HulkHogan @HeyHeyItsConrad Thoughts on sunsetting @83Weeks and relaunching a new podcast with Bischoff, Hogan, and Conrad as the third man?

[Malcolm Guite @malcolmguite]

Stand here a while and drink the silence in.
Where clear glass lets in living light to touch
And bless your eyes. A beech tree’s tender green
Shimmers beyond the window’s lucid arch.

[Malcolm Guite @malcolmguite]

Come as you came this day, a man in anger
Unleash the lash that drives a pathway through
Face down for me the fear the shame the danger
Teach me again to whom my love is due.
