A vision of a near-future spiritual experience |
I stand on a stage
A multitude of people, all eyes fixated on me Petrified, shaking uncontrollably Yet no one else can see... Now I'm standing on the edge of a cliff As high as Olympus Mons, maybe even higher Terrified, I just step off And plunge I'm falling, falling, FALLING fast My heart's beating hard I try to scream, but can't Seem to believe that it's me Just as I've prayed a final prayer My life flashing, flickering before me I am suddenly stopped in mid-air Like someone putting this surreal movie on pause Stunned, I wonder what is going on And then I begin to float Gently, gently, gently down Back and forth, back and forth... I'm on the stage again People staring in amazement As I bare my witness Of the True and Faithful One, Jesus... OK, it's a desert now Standing all alone, nothing but Miles and miles of sand Wind's blowing in my face Now a sandstorm, out of nowhere Can barely walk, can barely see Nearly blown off my feet! Grasping at nothing, pressing The wind wrestling with me, trying one more step... Then it just stops I look up and see the last part Of the sweeping motion of the Hand of Heaven Silence I slowly unbury my face The desert is disappearing, vanishing I can actually see the grass growing from nothing It all unfolds before my eyes Sand dunes becoming rain forest Sounds of wildlife all around me I swear I hear a waterfall, so I run toward it I see an opening, running, running Nearly too far! now that's a waterfall Just as I begin to linger, a voice says, "Jump, and will I not catch you? Leap, and will I not hold you? Open your eyes, my child Let go and just let Me..." Back on stage, my voice like a waterfall Many thirsty people, God has taken over A fountain in the desert I see people drinking of the Christ in me Their hearts spring forth, alive They thank God And He grows in them from nothing If only you could see what I see |
