Transcendence
Kathy A. Wittman 1949 (Tennessee)
You, Lord,
have carried me out of my cavernous pit
into the radiance of Your Love,
uplifting and transforming my spirit
into Your crystalline image.
Oh, Lord,
How can I truly love You?
As I transcend this veil of tears,
within my broken heart, I just
dimly recall youth's fading illusions.
Yes, Lord,
That part of me that I have so carefully
hidden I will one day reclaim for You,
as I present all of my being joyfully in
awestruck anticipation of Your Majesty.
