A Poem, written for the 15th anniversary of my conversion, December 13, 2010.
Reflections on Genesis 32, Exodus 33-34, and 2 Corinthians 3.
"Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom. And we all, who with unveiled faces contemplate the Lord’s glory, are being transformed into his image with ever-increasing glory, which comes from the Lord, who is the Spirit." 2 Cor. 3:17-18
"The Dawn is Breaking"
What we were meant to be
Before the world began
His Image –
Goodness and Perfection – Glorified
Our eyes were veiled
And we lost the Brightness of the Dawn
The air we breathe, so far from Him
The world just a shadow of True Reality
How long and how far
Have we been separated
From our True Love, Our True Home?
Exiles to a Far Country
Flaming swords barring the Way
Under the Ban,
No longer permitted in His Presence
Is there a Way to make it back?
He came to rescue us
To set us free from sin’s dark curse
To give us life, to restore His Image in us
He became the curse for us,
Conquered death and rose again,
And now we can be forgiven,
Restored and Justified.
His Grace is able to Purify
And Glorify our Souls
We are His, We are His, We are His!
We shall reign with Him as
His Beloved Bride, The Bride of the Crucified,
The Bride of the Resurrected One.
We are His, We are His, We are His!
The Dawn is Breaking,
Do you see your Self as He sees You?
We are His Beloved Bride,
We are Forgiven and Made New
Purified, Holy, and Complete in Him.
He is All, He is All, He is All we can Imagine!
He is Light, He is Truth,
He is Majesty and Perfection.
He is Joy, He is Desire,
He is Who we were created for.
He is All, He is All,
He is All We’ve Ever Wanted,
He is All We’ll Ever Need.
Do we have the courage to remove the veil?
Do we want to see our Selves as He sees us?
Can it be True?
We are His? We are His! We are His! We are His!
Let it be True –
Magnify, Glorify, Transform, and Renew
Your Image in me!
I want to be Your Beloved Bride
I want to radiate Your Glory, welling up inside of me
I want to be A Worthy Bride for You
Give me strength and courage
Give me eyes to see You
Please show me Your Glory.
I Seek Your Presence, I Seek Your Face.
You are All, You are All, You are All to me,
My Beloved, My Joy, My Every Desire,
My King and My God.
The Dawn is Breaking and
I release all my old life to You
I am Yours and
You are Mine.
I am Your Own,
Glorified.
The Dawn is Breaking
I am Living Where the Air is Thin
And I see You,
My Beloved, My Joy, My Every Desire,
My King and My God.
And now I see me as you see me,
Glorified.
In Your Light,
I see Light.
The Dawn is Breaking.
