Upwards (inspired by Aslan the Triumphant)


Halel
further up and further in
Praise Him who is to be praised
Run with abandon
Shiver with ecstasy
further up and further in
called the lion to the friends
Thick grass and springy turf
like a fresh garden after the rain
like a thunderstorm smell
like the beauty of life
more of what it is
more of what it should be
for now we see through a glass dimly
but then we shall see perfectly
and the lion which is the Lord
shall beckon:
further up and further in
my friends
