Beyond the Veil

 

There is a place, I’ve been there before

It’s heavenly wonder I’ll never get over

 

A place where time means nothing, and yet...

everything’s perfectly timed and set

 

A place where my sins I never remember

A place of such peace and constant surrender

 

This place makes me speechless, unable to pray

Yet perfect communion is able to stay

 

I walk in this place, re-enter the garden

My shame is released, I am perfectly pardoned

 

This place seems like heaven, though earth did not leave

nor hell all around me, from this no reprieve.

 

And yet in my being flows life from this place

…or position

…or paradigm;

it’s US face to face!

 

It is not a “place” I try to regale,

but eternal life in Christ in God beyond the veil

 

My eyes are wide open to this spiritual standing

Nothing can sever from love so demanding

 

But sometimes I feel that I’m only just here

That’s when I can’t bear to leave ones I hold dear

 

I choose now this hope (Hebrews 6:19)

I live not in fear

I live in this vision of God IN me HERE.
