TO TOUCH THE DEVINE

HOW I LONG FOR YOUR EMBRACE 
WHERE MORTAL FLESH 
CAN NESTLE WITH IMMORTALITY.

BUT SIN HAS CAUSED A GREAT DIVIDE 
AND THE THOUGHT OF YOUR MAJESTY 
CAUSES ME TO RUN AND HIDE.

IN YOUR GLORIOUS LIGHT 
IS WHERE I OUGHT TO BE 
EXPERIENCING THE FULLNESS OF JOY 
FOR ALL ETERNITY.

BUT DARKNESS HAS BEEN 
MY DWELLING PLACE 
YET MY SOUL LONGED 
TO BEHOLD YOUR RADIANT FACE.

ITS THE LITTLE SPARK OF LIGHT 
THAT YOU HAVE PLACED WITHIN ME 
THAT CAUSES ME TO CALL ON THEE.

SO CREATE IN ME A CLEAN HEART 
AND TRANSFORM MY CONFUSED MIND 
AND ENABLE THE SINNERS PRAYER 
TO TOUCH THE HEART 
OF THE HOLY AND DEVINE.

WILFORD BARKER.
