Through the Mist

Through the falling mist I see light
of blues, yellows, golds, and whites
There is an image I try to make out
Within the lights I hear a glorious shout
Its the image of the Son of Man
Reaching out to take my hand
I hold out my right for him to take
I hear His Voice, " ALL is well for My Sake"

The mist gets thicker as I approach
Who would dare his glory encroach?
He bids me COME and I continue in
I'm very aware I'm a woman of sin
Yet through the mist, I sense such Peace
I hear the call to begin the Feast
A clamber of angels press past my side
Getting things ready for His welcomed Bride.

I enter in to the mist so weighty
And under His Wing where it is so shady
Like a chick gathered under His Mighty arm
Where nothing can touch me, I face no harm
He blows the Mighty Pipe announcing my arrival
I look back once to see all my rivals
A table was set before them in Honor
You could see their faces showing great horror

For here was I, a sinful one
Being embraced by God's Princely Son
No fear was present, for Peace had been set
When death on the cross, and resurrection met
A bridge was constructed for me to cross
That I wouldn't be forgotten, I wouldn't be lost

He hands me some wood, a splinter and a nail
He said Well Done, You did not fail
You carried your cross, and supped from your cup
You held it together, you honored me with much
Now take this wood, splinter and nail
And drive it down inward, the earth to impale
That my Blood may cry out, to the ones still in the night
That they might find peace, in ME, in MY SIGHT.

Righteous shouts from the rooftops this hour
Justice is meted with merciful showers
Salvation of man is sown in the blood


I stand in the mist, and hold out my palms
My heart pours out His hymns and Psalms
I gaze at my hands, receiving the rains
Of blood and water, saving the same

THEY OVERCAME BY THE BLOOD OF THE LAMB AND THE WORD OF THEIR TESTIMONY
