Praise awaits you, awaits you Lord
Throngs of people, multitudes of voices
Gather insurmountably to look up
And fall facedown;
Sing echoes that resound for eternity
In hearts that turn from their icy ways
In heavens that no mind has perceived
In our entire beings, smiles, laughter
A trembling of ecstasy in knowing you
as Lover, Friend, Redeemer-kinsman, Lord, King, Sovereign...
The endless list of names that pale
in the light of Your Name.
God, reveal!
Strip away facades of religion and modern Pharisees
Tear down folly and pride that rank so greatly among men
Expose the transience and failures of placebos
Mortality
Decay, Depravity and Labyrinths of dissatisfaction
God,
Reveal!
Such joy of knowing You...
Why seek Elysium on earth
When I can find it full when I look to Your face?
