~The end's Approach~

          The pillar of fire's leading me
             towards the promised land,
            more each day, I easily see
             Your guiding, gentle hand
               orchestrating my life
             like an unfolding melody,
        the beauty of the new song you give
                finally sung openly.

             Wandering in the circles
          I've travelled, away from You,
           searching for the narrow path,
             & yet blinded by the veiw,
          I hid beneath the cloud, alone,
             surrounded by Your glory,
       the surrounding crowd not truly one,
           all writing their own story.

        But all along, You bid me,"Come,
             & I will shepherd you,
        I'll lead you into the sheepfold,
         your home's in Me, & you knew
         the moment you fully surrender,
       I'll set you free from everything
        keeping you in this wilderness,
            separated, & wandering."

    ~& Suddenly, He restores my sight,
        & places me where I belong
in His body, where's He's free to be the head,
   & only in Him, are we made strong,
no more relying on our own understanding,
no more turning to others, rather than Him,
   freed forever from all lingering bondages,
   aware so fully now of His presence within.

Author's Notes/Comments: 

...& once again, I'm, searching for my place in His body, seeking until I find...finding true fellowship, where there is liberty to be who we truly are in Him, & it is received, brings such joy, such a sense of homecoming, such awareness of some of the blessings Heaven will contain! As I wait to find glimpes of this again here on earth, it makes me long all the more for the day when I see Him face to face, & am made to be like Him, as we all will be, who love His appearing!
"Even so, Come quickly, Lord Jesus!"
