Sonnet


from the ABC set THE EMMANUEL SET

And when I see You then and face to face,
I promise not to fall and weep ashamed,
I want to gaze deep into eyes of grace,
I want to see You hear me say Your name.

Your love will pour like honey over me,
Your love that long ago removed my stain,
I will with unveiled eyes begin to see,
Eternity displayed and glory reign.

At last to know the one my heart adores,
Who only ever loves forever pure,
I've been so far away on distant shores,
Now heaven's light begins the holy cure.

Your faithfulness to me the Spirit's seal,
Your life in me the only life that's real.
