Righteousness

Righteousness
Is the reward
That stays 
The sword

We have none
Of our own
But yearn for what
You have sworn
To make our joy complete
Under heaven.

The Place Where Glory Dwells

Do you know the place
where Glory dwells?
Can you help me find 
the way?

Look for
a holy hill
But know
Only the righteous 
there may stand
before the One
Who sees

Can I muster
the substance
to stand 
in His sight
and
in His light
to see light?

Only if He aids me.

Truth Shall Rhyme

There is a rock that is higher than I

And heart cries with longing to be on.

There

Truth shall rhyme with beauty

Righteousness and faith shall kiss

For

The Kingdom is where the King is

Future and past and present.

To the Sanctuary

Have I need of strength?
 Yes, especially in those times
 When I consider myself
 The most strong.
Have I need of wisdom?
 Yes, for even in my cleverness
 Manipulating my environment
 There is yet the danger
 I may be wrong.
Have I need of righteousness?
 Yes, daily and hourly
 And minute passing minute
 I need that covering
 Because of who I am.
Have I need of a Shepherd?
 Yes, One who has all those things
 In Himself and for me - 
 Who will lead me along the Way
 To Himself the Lamb.

So, then, to the Sanctuary
 To the place that is set apart
Honor is there
 And Glory
For there the King presides
 Clothed in strength and beauty
At their fragrance the humble bow.
Wisdom to know what He requires
 And strength to do His will.
Only come before Him
 And before His face be still.
So, to the Sanctuary
 To the place that is set apart
 To the One whose very presence
 Makes whole the human heart.
