your love overshadows us – v2


your loving presence palpable
your love overshadows us
as the Spirit did Mary
like a great cloud
that fell on Moses
embracing our lives

God falling down
descending from heaven
palpable upon us
a presence, yet not heavy,
feeling you with us
in this walk of faith

(thinking about the language in scripture of the visit of the angel
to Mary before the Spirit overshadowed her)
