In Your Pure Light

A cry...
A cry lies within us in the depth of a place which we cannot touch,
Waiting to escape the enclosed gates of our expression.
Something is happening inside of us,
Beyond what we can articulate,
So we respond.
We respond to You.
We respond to You, Jesus.

In your pure light I have come out of the shadows of darkness.
You alone are the one that can satisfy.
Seeping into every vacant space inside of me--
Reality...in You, in me, in You.
I try to imagine forever, and at a certain point my brain stops, but that's You.
Forever being, forever existing, forever knowing You.
Before there was anyone, anything, You,
And after everything there was is no more...You.

My thoughts cant even fully comprehend You, so whatever praise my
thoughts begin my Spirit has to complete.
And every time I take in a breath...I discover You,
and that the same breath Im breathing originated inside of You.
So I breathe You in, because you take me in, Jesus.

In your pure light I have come out of the shadows of darkness.
You alone satisfy...
Seeping into every vacant space inside of me.
Try to imagine forever.
That's You.
Forever being, forever existing, forever knowing You.
Before there was anyone, anything, You,
And after everything there was is no more...You.

And every time I take in a breath--
Every time I take in a breath,
I discover You.
I breathe you in...because you take me in.
We breathe you in, because you take us in,
To be still, and breathe
that you are God.
