UNTIL HE…

Until He opens up our eyes

We’ll remain in pagan ways,

Believing that all of our philosophies

Can sustain our living days.

Until He reaches out to us

We’ll continue in our sin,

Believing that we are free indeed

But so empty from within.

Until He gives us revelation

Of the Lord Jesus Christ,

We’ll continue to believe

That our religion is always right.

Until He extends His arm

All our works are done in vain,

Because salvation is in Him alone

And not in any other name.

Until He wakes us up

From our spiritual of slumber,

We’ll continue with our fantasies

Instead of seeing His awe and wonder.

Until He reveals Himself

We cannot surely believe,

Because it’s by hearing the precious word of God

That our heart begins to see.

Until He knocks on the door of our heart

We can be hardened in every way,

By the bitter outcomes of society

And the troubles in every day.

Until He shows us His pure light

In darkness we shall walk,

When our words are laden with insincerity

And deception when we talk.

Because when we have that man-pleasing spirit

In order to simply be accepted,

In doing this we don’t realise 

That by God we are rejected.

Until He sincerely heals us

From all our heartache and our pain,

All man-made solutions will be temporary

Where disappointment can remain.

It’s by His mercy and His grace

That enlightenment enters our pores,

As we humbly realise and do repent

When He opens up His door.

“That the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give to you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of Him, the eyes of your understanding being enlightened, that you may know what is the hope of His calling, what are the riches of the glory of His inheritance in the saints, and what is the exceeding greatness of His power toward us who believe, according to the working of His mighty power.”  Ephesians 1:17-19
