INTERCESSION

Like sunshine melting ice –
Like water soothing stones –
The love of Christ will touch each cell
With power that atones.

So vast to reach the dark
And pull out stars unknown –
The transformation of our souls
Comes through His name alone.

An instant change is rare –
We need the time to grow
Into the gown of righteousness
That He wants to bestow.

So, patience is a friend
And waiting – not a foe
As point by point we put on light
From head to heart to toe.
