Overshadow

Gabriels silence heralds the darkness

A place to remember what was seen in the light

When glory appears all else is in shadow

And the shadows can be dark as the night.

We can be left blinded by a radient glow

When we stand in His presence so bright

But the heart has its eyes wide open to know

That to see clearly takes more than sight.

For heaven’s breath and heaven’s bread

Overshadows death and raises the dead

When we’re overshadowed by the most high

We shall bask in the glow of His favor instead
