Long Unveiling

(Continuing on the subject of my last post, this is a song I wrote recently.)


When I close my eyes I catch a glimpse
Of something bigger than I am
Of someone better than I am
She's a fountain overflowing at its brim
With all things good and kind and lovely
All things far and distant from me
But I know she's more than just a picture
Of what I can become
She's the genuine article

It's a long unveiling
It's a slow revealing
As He's peeling off my fears
As He's healing all my tears
It's a slow and subtle waking
A gentle voice that's calling
As I'm crawling towards the line
As I'm falling time and time again

When I sit with Him I get a taste
Of something beautiful and sweet
Of someone fragrant and complete
Then I can't help but regret the time I waste
The times I walked around in circles
The times I stumbled on the hurdles
But I know that He is always patient
He sees what I can't see
The person I'm meant to be
He reminds me

It's a long unveiling
It's a slow revealing
As He's peeling off my fears
As He's healing all my tears
It's a slow and subtle waking
Everything is dawning
And beginning once again
I am living like I've never lived before

He grows flowers where stones reside
He can push the stones aside
He will take my grain of sand
Make it a pearl in His hand
