Poetry
TO SEE HIS FACE
"Holy, holy," the music played,
My heart and body respond.
Bowing low I worship,
The Lover of my soul.
My face pressed to the floor,
I ask to see His face.
Worship pours from my soul,
As the vision I anticipate!
His face, however, did not appear.
Instead, I saw His feet.
Dusty, bruised, battered, torn,
Nail-scarred, bleeding feet.
I dared not touch His beautiful feet
For fear I'd cause Him pain.
As I gazed and wept upon them,
In tenderness He speaks.
"You do not need to touch them,
Your tears, they ease my pain.
One day you will see My face,
For now, behold My feet."
Those holy, precious feet
Walked many dusty roads,
As He journeyed to spread Good News,
His mission misunderstood.
On a rocky hill, on a criminal's cross,
His life's blood was poured out.
His feet couldn't even support Him,
The nails pierced clear through them!
Why did my sins
Demand so high a cost?
Why Him? Why not me?
His soul's passion? To save the lost!
The vision faded, I arose,
In awe of what I had seen.
Many times in worship,
His feet again I'd seen.
One beautiful, starry night
Not many days hence,
His Voice called me outside
To worship at His feet.
Eyes closed I began to praise,
Love songs began to surface
From the innermost part of me
That only He can seen.
Eyes opening I began to sing
My rhapsody of love,
But to my knees I instantly fell,
My song became a squeal.
Wonder, emotion overcome me
As my Lord's face I beheld!
The vision cannot be described,
Stars glitter in His eyes and beard!
There He was in all His glory,
My heart with rapture thrilled!
I gazed upon that Face I love
While around me nature trilled.
Why did He give me
My heart's desperate desire?
Because, His Word surely says,
"I am my Beloved's
And my Beloved is truly mine!"
