Choosing evil over God's perfect goodness Desiring darkness instead of His light Was that not worthy of punishment? So we exist, this life, now today in Our opportunity for The Reversal
Reversing our open rebellion Long ago fed by our lack of gratitude To return to God And He will return to us!!!!
He stands with arm outstretched Palm open upward Hoping to fill its emptiness once again (Like any good parent) With the warmth of His child's small hand Through our choice to reverse our life Back into the safety of His firm, powerful grip!
Receive a new body You say Be pulled out of This shell of clay? Never commit another sin Your perfection's glory Eternally to win?
Oh, how I desire to live in Such strengthened faith Allowed each day the details to trace Of God's smiling, most wonderful face Oh the joy to live among the angels wings Hearing crystal clear forever Their praises to you loudly ring Their ecstasy be allowed to capture Standing amidst their increasing rapture Loudly I sigh and deeply long To live within the beauty of Your Paradise’s glorious songs!
You had to reach down So very, very low Because At times life to us can deliver Such exceedingly cruel blows AH, But the joy at seeing your face Come to save(as always) I reach up for Your hands full of Your overflowing grace!
So hold your breath Get ready Christ remains always steady Dependable, ALMIGHTY Wait and you will see Your Refuge, our Rock Our Creator LORD He will enable all believers In Him once again to soar Above this world's chaos Pain, suffering and loss Even though it may come For you at a great cost
But you can rely upon HIM To eternally win Our Immortal souls, Us in His forever love to keep As in His Paradise We will all Dance joyfully In the Light-filled Glory At His Feet!!
Irresistibly drawn To this light Stronger and stronger To this urge I fear I no longer Feel a stranger
Increasing almost Every day Sometimes in More than one way Like a moth to the flame Hearing You speak my name I beat my frail wings Against the thin veil Of this flesh Separating for now You and I Ah at times can Life be quite the test!
Yet today I can just be still At the command of my God's will And enter into His desired rest Which at times I must confess For me is hardly ever easy So for now I will warm my wings As I listen heaven still sings Of the warmth, glory in the light Cascading from Your Wondrous love & might!
Radiating your goodness Wonderfulness, magnificence Made us to share in Your youness Through You For you Alive only at your request This rare unique gift Gives me joy
All your beauty Shining overhead In each star Each glowing planet In each blushing flower Every human smile Living in each act Of kindness I adore you Idolize only you Life, goodness, purity Love, perfection Gushing from you YOU are our JOY! Praise You, Lord God Praise You!
