Through The Veil

How can one be so blest?

So undeserved, the care,

With all this wretchedness,

God’s love still surrounds.

The Love of God,

given though not deserved.

To fill the void of darkness,

He gave the light to overfill.

Darkness deep inside myself,

the depth I thought I knew.

Perceptions I have held,

shadowed… dark inside.

Dark entwines throughout,

the light to force it out.

If seen through eyes clear,

not with clouded veil.

A brother true,

his honesty in God’s purity.

To help me see the real me,

those years of darkness hid.

I am not as I perceive,

from you, and me concealed.

Darkness veiled down inside,

misperceptions or just plain… lies.

There is the me I let you see,

though honesty I seek.

Allowing God’s light to shine

overshadowing the dark inside

The me that I perceived

I thought I knew so well.

Overwhelmed I am,

that who I am… I‘m not.

The real me for God to clean,

He knows my wretched sin.

God chose to only see,

His results of cleansing me.

Light faithfulness to reveal,

the darkness cloaked within.

If be God that we desire,

every void must fill with Him.

I need… we need each other,

to view ourselves correct.

Brothers, we need the other,

to help each through the veil.

God is faithful though we not be,

His love enwraps with just.

Sacrifice of blood to rent,

to bring us through the veil.
