Are you really Willing to die? Let go of it all? For an illusion? Something I cannot See? Something I Cannot touch?
But you say it Is the truth This is indeed Most acute! Is this how Your mind You wish to soothe?
An unseen God A Holy Savior A spiritual level to life? To save us from what? I will admit There is much chaos Afoot Everywhere much cruelty Pain suffering To find all of that No one would really Be at all hard put!
Maybe you are right Perhaps I should be more Contrite Learn to let go So I too may know The Spirit's burning fire, Joy, the Privilege To pick up my cross And follow Him His paradise to win To lose myself And for the living Christ Become a martyr!!
My shell At times So weak So frail Earthly Made of only Dust In it May we never Ever put our Deepest trust
All of that Is temporary My spirit My real me Only it Heads into God’s Most precious eternity
I sigh, I long For such A place Filled with Only Your perfection Your glory's Holy Grace Longing to see Nothing But Your Bright Light Your Face!
Oh, God Almighty, Help me Make The right choice Among all of This earth's lost voice It's rising dust May I not turn May I not trust Wars, Murders Deceits Lies, Chaos In all of these You are all Anyone's immortal Soul Really ever needs!!
A vision was given An impression received Beautiful yet frightening So clearly seen Yet sometimes even I find it Hard to believe
That You would honor me With this vision Of Your holy one This angelic messenger Impressed was I Of that you can be sure
In his great power & in silence he stood On a cloud so white In his full magnificent glory And Your Most Holy Might
Beautiful, Over his skin’s surface dwelling Rainbow’s colors changing, moving Of Your spirit’s beauty was it telling
His eyes full of so fierce a light It gave my heartbeat a moment’s fright Compelling, yet I yearned to turn away Yet held was I & stayed
With one wink Destroyed could he have me Ferocious in his glory Showing only the story The completeness of Your Glory’s overwhelming power
Although sometimes I think Does it take a slightest toll Upon the stronghold of my soul These dreams, these visions Yet I beg please, please do not scold Because I have from the very start In telling of had only best intentions For your soul’s peace of heart
A new covenant A new mercy seat To make us more whole Ever more complete With arms outstretched This resurrected Christ Promises us new life
Long, long ago During a desert journey So arduous Our Creator/God Reached down With Holy Hands So glorious To lift us up Toward Himself
Creating a Golden Ark of His Covenant Between cherubim wings He placed a Mercy Seat Atop it It would be for His people Of His Love, GLORY, Presence A strong deposit
But with Today's Newest covenant God's Presence Comes alive A Living Resurrected Christ, His new Mercy Seat, To recreate in us A new heart, new mind, A completely transformed Resurrected life!!
Caught up in you Not just watching Or carried by your side But caught up Inside of you Longingly I sigh Please do not pass Me by In the moment Of that breath I know the best Of life waiting for me yet Is to be caught up Into the richest, deepest crevices within Your heart's depths!
