Heaven is Being With You




Some things are unbelievable....but not You, O God.

With earth-shattering realness, You manifest yourself to the seeking heart,
First revealing the depravity of our own souls...
Bringing us to freeflowing sorrow for our sins, before
Flooding us with the realization of Your grace,
and then Filling us with the Fullness of Your Holy Spirit...

Grace, peace and love, all over-flowing, all ours by Your Spirit
In ever-increasing, never-failing supply
If we only believe...

Where else would we go
To find this rest for our soul?

Compared to Your purity,
All else seems dirty,
and crass,
and drains the very Life
out of those for whom
You gave so much
to save.

Who else could fill every crack and
crevice of our being with such
awesome wonderfulness that we feel we will burst out,
at a loss to contain the "Christ in us,
the Hope of Glory"?

Who else could make us spin in such glorious
rapture of song and dance and praise?
