As I enter in
In the middle of a crowd that surrounds me
Patiently waiting to hear the start of a worshipful melody
When the musicians begin to play, people start singing.
I close my eyes, raise my hands, and begin to make an offering.
My spirit starts to give thanks and begins its celebration
From being released from my past and sins incarceration
Soon, I’m praising God that from death I am fully free
And hell has completely forfeited its claim on me.
As I enter in
Suddenly, I feel my spirit approaching God’s throne room
I boldly burst in like an exuberant bridegroom
With my spirit rejoicing, I begin moving my feet
In front of the One who has made me complete
Time is forgotten with each moment passing.
As I widely increase my rhythmic dancing
Because I know this is my chance to behold His face
and to become lost in His perplexing grace.
As I enter in
Now I am beholding the One standing before me who died in my place
and by His grace made my spirit alive in this once cold dead space.
I can hear His heart speaking into my heart
promising me that nothing will ever tear us apart.
With a reminder that what He says about me
not what man says about me is the true reality
And how He views me lies my true identity.
As I enter in
While the music is ending, I am still rejoicing
that today I saw and touched His face and felt His embrace.
And next week will get to come back to do it all over again.
By,
