If you knew how much I love you
You'd be living a diff'rent life.
My presence and glory break through,
To those in the midst of great strife!
If you could make it without Me,
Alone for the glory of men,
It's clear that you simply doubt Me
With no faith, the door, to open. Your fear, frustration and sorrow
Are signs of your distance from Me
Move closer! Soon, on the morrow,
With Me, you'll be all you can be! You ask for more of My presence,
Then set off to do it alone.
Sad at ongoing irrev'rence,
Don't expect My life to be shown! I do so long for your presence.
It is clear you don't realize
The depth of My love or rev'rence
Or My heartfelt, impassioned cries. I died not just for salvation.
I died to bring heaven to earth.
My kingdom's not incantation,
But healing, great joy and true worth. True riches more valued than gold
Are waiting for those who agree,
To let My life simply unfold
And die to their wants, and just be Available NOW, this moment!
To you and to all who will love,
Lay down your lives and soul torment
And earnestly seek Life above. To those who love My appearing,
There awaits a glorious crown
Of righteousness, love endearing,
Your name in My book of renown! For sure, you'll be known in heaven,
But maybe not well-known on earth.
Please know your life without "leaven"
Will be full of faith, pow'r and worth! Joseph Keesling, reproduced with permission from king-david.org
