Oh Sacred Incandescent

Oh Lord who lights the candles
of pure righteousness and faith,
send your divine shower of refining
deep into our souls,
cleanse and strike with all your healing flame,
give us again that inner burning,
the redeeming touch of your Holy Spirit.

Let us have that radiance on our lips,
grant us the sacred incandescent
to shine into our every doubt and darkness,
make us ablaze by your touch,
until we again are alive like a boiling broth
and seared with the craving for your caress,
every vision and praise your power inspires,
each precious longing to only think of you.

Send down your lily flare of anointing iridescent
that can erupt within our hearts
turn every thought into a praise.

Transform our minds to only seeing
what is your will as the sun of our desires
so we can stand at Zion’s gate in our longing,
lift up with joyous chorus of Selah
all that we surrender to your omniscience.

Willingly entwined in a glorious supplication
for the rich bliss of sublime closeness
as a precious gifting of yearning,
utterly illuminating any darkness
with the lightning stroke of salvation.

In that overwhelming feel
shall we know only the beauty of redemption,
constantly singing of our renewal
by that everlasting torch you have lit
during our humbling submission.
Giving thanks for the way you immerse us
fully and completely in that beautiful clarity,
which only wants what you have to reveal.
