strings

late last night 

Nathan and I 

broke out our instruments,

a Taylor guitar, 
and a humble sized ukulele.

We spread out the sheet music

and just started strumming.

We were surprised

by the easy worship

and that Jesus joined us on the bed

in singing.

His soft, gentle, voice,

floated in and out of ours

and unspeakable joy filled my heart.

No discord. 

No thought of self.

no competing and comparing.

Just beautiful worship 

to a King who was and is worthy.

We were encouraged 

to see He could use even

the lowly

to uplift His name.
