The Beloved

If ever time would let me hold but for a moment-one day where any dream can still unfold and change the course of yesterday I'd search so many years ago submit to you alone No where in time I'd let you go No place in time I'd roam If everlasting was held there and that day measured infinity today my sins would not appear for I'd have earned eternity But Lord you hold a water's mist that it should never touch the ground You have ensured that I exist for by grace my sins aren't found As memories of my hope in you awake my heart to strive Your Spirit fills with light from you and I once dead am now alive For yesterday is history but today I'm in your hand My tomorrows aren't a mystery for you've re-shaped me with your plan So that now forgiven, I do dare to claim my rights foretold I am beloved..I am aware that you have restored my soul Behold! Within my heart flows tears for your mercy towards me Your glory, treasure that I bear will lead beyond the crystal sea Lord you have joined two worlds apart This truth you came to give.. that man with you in his own heart can be worthily called "Beloved"..
