Pillars In The Light

When I am in the shadows of my deepest despair
left wandering only where darkness dominates,
it is then in that His spirit comes within
unto all my withered hope and dire thoughts,
slowly He fills my vacuous soul
by the embers of His righteous flame
until I can see His endless pillars of light
that have reigned sovereign for all eternity.

While my mind might conjure so many distractions
wander endlessly with my natural, mortal eyes
and for awhile be lured by the world’s wisdom,
but with one breath of His Ruwach wind
am I lifted out of that limited vision.

To praise His glory and sense the vastness
of His power and presence,
feel it intently touch my mind
so by a heart beat I am enriched,
utterly shining in the faith He gave,
finally able to cast aside those fears
that any human plan and plot
into a waste without success.

It is the calm that comes so suddenly
leaves me is such awe of His omnipotence
truly stunned and mesmerized
by the way He takes the veil off my eyes.

Waves of peace blend with surges in joy
at the moment I am baptized by His love,
no longer with my blinders of limited clarity
where my soul can sing His glory
from a view that sees beyond myself.

Then I shudder over the immersion
ever more led to lean on Him for my day
with the added strength to know
how He truly can do the impossible
