Our Living Hope

Frozen tears through the years That you blew with your great love Into the water, I was cleansed Never thought it was more that Deep inside, only God knows All that I have gone through I was alone, yet I tried to be strong I hold on, hoping nothing will go wrong Silent tears I cried without pride Unbinding myself with all that lie Quenching myself from all that wry Freeing myself before I'll die Your death, You took without further ado You redeemed me that I believe is true Into Your resurrection, You give me hope A living hope that leaves me to dare cope Need I ask for more? Need I ask for more? for more.... Yes.. oh Yes I want to ask more... Little that I know Until now that You alone are my Living hope... Forsaken before... Forgotten core.. yet, still still.. like a rushing wind you came, calming and filling me With a burning passion You only can give as Your Spirit saturating me Every fiber that makes me human. Making me whole making me new... its no ritual.. its not because to be belong nor its a procedure but because because.. its a need.. a crawling screaming growing need from within... My Living hope.. As into the water I will be immerse So thus like You before buried from injustice but resurrected and so I am my old self will be long gone and done.. for new beginnings... And I will rise.. I will rise... I know and I believe.. I have declared publicly, that You. Its You that's all that I want now.. I want now... (c) Olive Eloisa 1:05pm June 23, 2014
Note: This is inspired with the greater understanding of the rights of Baptism.. All religions, (from my opinion and from what I read) to enter,, is to undergo one Baptism. In my life, I have undergone two Baptisms of which these two: the first because I am a baby and so innocent of what is it. The second, when I entered my elementary years and it is a requirement. although, I learned some of the meaning of why there is this and some of the meanings of the symbols.. but it's until later that I have known and I have a wider understanding of what this is to me spiritually... Its not merely to be belong, or be used to be accepted to some certain degree or to gain better status but the mere fact that its the declaration of faith, the acknowledgement of your beliefs and trust and more to experience... to experience the greater meaning of this serious solemn act... :)
