sweep me away

"sweep me away" 34x57 mixed media on board c. 2010 Lisa Marten

this is my new "hybrid" mixed media painting combining one of my impressionistic oil landscape paintings with abstract collage expressionism. this painting has been long in coming. it feels so good to finally get it out of my head & heart. it has everything to do with letting God take your hand, hold you, lead you, and sweep you away into his heart, his mercy, his grace, his forgiveness, his healing, his comfort, his peace, his passion, his freedom, his love. it's about letting go. it's about release. it's about trust. may you let him gently wash over your heart and your life.

suddenly I feel you holding me.
sweep me away.
suddenly I feel your hand in mine.
sweep me away.
suddenly I feel you leading me.
sweep me away.
suddenly I feel your heart in mine.
sweep me away.

-Charlie Hall "Sweep Me Away" from the album Passion: Our Love is Loud
