Wide Eyed In Wonder


Waking wide eyed in wonder At His awful majesty

Devastated, torn asunder By love that scalds my soul til clean.


Making me a newborn creation Taking me to the bowels of being right

Deeper into my disintegration Into a state where woe and joy unite.


With passion's fires purified With hell and heaven looking on

With the drama of the ages as my guide I'm aware there's a battle to be won.


A conflict 'tween the seen and the unseen

The challenge of the dead who are seeking daily bread

Where the quickened are at battle in a field that they must glean

And the real is still a shadow in my head.

Waking wide eyed in wonder At His awful majesty

Devastated, torn asunder By love that scalds my soul til clean.


Making me a newborn creation Taking me to the bowels of being right

Deeper into my disintegration Into a state where woe and joy unite.
