Night Of The Chimes


While inside a dream one night
A Holy Wind gave life to the chimes
and the sound was the sound of praise
in a song of unity and rhyme.

And faces were upon the chimes
unlike any I had ever seen
for their great joy beamed forth light
and the light grew and filled my dream.

"Lamb of God! You alone are worthy
of all majesty and praise!"
reverberated through my being
as I strained to see through this haze

In an instant these eyes beheld
a most glorious and awesome sight;
seated upon a brilliant throne
was My Lord and we locked eyes.

Weeping tears of fear and joy
I collapsed upon the floor
knowing this moment would one day come;
being face to face with My Lord.

"My Lord! My God! My All!"
So many times I'd spoken these words
but never with such passion
and then, another Voice I heard:

"My sweet child, do you love Me?"
Oh Lord, You know I do!
"My beloved, do you love Me?"
Jesus, You know my love is true!

A third time He asked "do you love Me?"
and again I said "Lord, I do!"
He then spoke "arise to you feet
for My Heart you did pursue."

Folded arms before My King
eyes closed for just a while...
looking into The Face of God
I saw His gentle smile.

We embraced and I was cradled
with my head upon His breast
I thought of the last supper
when St. John received his rest.

"Lord, I can't hear Your heartbeat"
I said with eyes still moist
"My child, listen to your own
and you'll hear the rhythm of My Voice"

I again heard the sound of praise
as My Lord began to move away
"No Lord, please don't leave me!"
He said, "Fear not, I'm with you always"

While inside a dream one night
A Holy Wind gave life to the chimes
and I joined their chorus of praise
in a song of unity and rhyme!
