Ashes Turn to Embers
Ashes turn to embers in the heat of your majesty.
Sparks dance above the fire of your brilliant jubilee.
I feel the heat. It laps like waves against my face.
Eyes, like diamonds, sparkle bright. I gaze upon this place.
Rose checks emerge as my ceramic complexion disappears.
My heart is imbued with fervor. Your glory hovers here.
You give me vitality. You give me gleaming light.
I burn in the furnace of your grace. My life ignites.
Like an old man searching for trinkets, I look for your will.
I hobble in the vastness until my hunger is fulfilled.
Your presence fills my cup to the point of overflowing.
It spills out on my skin—such blessings brightly glowing!
Treasure chest bursting with the priceless reward,
How could I ask for more, I am dancing with the Lord!
In need I am never. His provision guides my feet.
I walk on this journey. In Him I feel complete.
Tangible, fleeting riches are overrated;
By the hands of our God, the world was created.
I embrace mercy. I embrace peace.
I am wrapped in a love that will forever increase.
The red blood in my veins will never fear of drought.
My heartbeat strengthens with every promise carried out.
You are good. Your provision coats our lives.
May we look to you as a Father--not just a way to survive!
