Unveil yourself

"And he said unto Jesus, Lord, remember me when thou comest into thy kingdom.  And Jesus said unto him, Verily I say unto thee, Today shalt thou be with me in paradise. And it was about the sixth hour, and there was a darkness over all the earth until the ninth hour. And the sun was darkened, and the veil of the temple was rent in the midst." (Luke 23:42-45)

Unveil Yourself my heart's cry
Reveal the depths of Your love
Invade this place of longing Lord
with quenching mercy from above

Unveil Yourself my very breath
Uncover the air that I need
Overtake all the stifling forces Lord
which keep Christ from permeating me

Unveil Yourself my song in the night
Unmask false notes off key
Display my spiritual opus Lord
with songs of grace and humility

Unveil Yourself my love divine
Undress my worn rags of shame
Crush with passion the depths of me
with the intimacy of Your name

Unveil Yourself my warrior king
Undermine my warring schemes
Inhabit the enemy's camp Oh Lord
even if the enemy turns out to be me

Unveil what's been veiled for far too long
Subdue what would stand in the way
Pervade every ounce of my soul my Christ
with the glory of every word You say

You are the Word made flesh Lord
The Father has spoken in Christ
I am a tablet of flesh God
​Write Jesus all over my life...
