The Tower

Profound glory surrounds

My quickening heart

And these firey hues

Ignite my soul,

The very core of my

Being.

The corners of my lips

Tug upward until

Laughter breaks forth

Composing a song of innocence

So sweet a melody that is uttered.

The power of the Lord surrounds me,

And there is no reason to be of contrite heart,

For what is there to reminisce,

When this wonder before my eyes

Melts my heart

Until tears of joy

Flow like a river.

Just look around yourself

And you'll know too

Of His presence

Underneath,

Over top,

Behind,

And inside you.

We can't even fully understand

But that's alright

Because that would take away

From discovering

Magnificence.

Just follow me

Let's go to cross,

As the children we were meant to be,

Mindless of our old lives,

And in this storm {this beautiful storm}

Sins will be lifted

As a butterfly lifts

Her wings to fly freely

To places only God can tell.

Uncontrollable happiness

Is what we will bathe in.

And when we are freshly cleansed,

Then we will awake.

There again is the house I grew up in.

And there's the school

That shaped my childhood,

Oh! And my parents

Adoringly watching

Their son grow up.

You see, it never goes away;

The world around us

Is still here for a while,

But the thing that has changed,

I've found,

Is inside us.

He took the nails

So we can be free.

My soul is changed,

And this is the starting to a new story.
