Celestial

A tongue likened to fire
Whispers sweet somethings into the night sky
Awaken from your dream, Sleepers
The time of the end is 'nigh.
I shall cleave through sacrilege and lies
like a serrated blade through melted fat.
Rely on your faith to light the way
Sending the shadows to the far corners of existence
For what God once saw in his people
I pray he see in me
Send me into the world, Father
With your message on my lips
Allow me drink of thy cup
And feast at thy table.
In the presence of mine enemies, keep me safe
As I wander alone, keep me whole
Bring me toward the final home, sweet God
Through trials and adversity
Toils, torments, and pain
I will shed tears and strive onward
Bare foot, I will find your footprints in the sand
As you walk before me, steering my way
Lost I had been, and found I was
Shed the lamplight to keep me aimed skyward.
Forsake the flesh to fulfill the spirit
Slake the thirst for something else
Soothe parched throat with the sweetest nectar
Thick, rich, flowing like honey
Let it rain down upon my bowed head.
Life is harsh, cruel, a test of mettle
As I crawl on broken spine and bloodied knee
Father of the One and us All
I beg thee to carry me
A step I cannot take... without you.
