The Glory of the Face of God

June 15, 2024 Jeff Reed

The glory of the face of God

is a consuming fire.

It fills me with a terror

while it fills all my desire.

It opens up for me to see

the mighty gap between

the perfect holiness of God

and myself, dark, unclean.

Now Your mercy covers me

and takes away my sin.

My life reborn, the curtain torn,

and I am welcomed in.
