Tired from the long journey, I found Your door — and this rare life bore fruit.
The Arc
The rahau: give me the blessing I would give everything for; caught by pride and the five thieves, I found the shelter of the holy, and their company freed me. The first verse: after a long wandering I grew weary and came to rest at Your door. The close: the One grew kind, gave the Name to lean on, and this precious, rare life became fruitful, carried safely across.
