Piercing

 

Amid the dark veil of ignorance

when doubt shrouds with its stormy, suffocating mantel

over the sky in the mind and night for the soul,

only God’s spirit can pierce that deep blackness by His love.

 

Eyes that look every upward for deliverance

though the tears fall like a cloudburst

let their sobs turn to faith’s psalms,

which opens the heart unto the Lord’s touch of salvation's light.

 

How His spirit can ignite any shadows

and bring His power in such inner electrifying ways,

until rebirth comes to the wayward life

and you glow by the flame of His glory.
