Table of Plenty

So small in stature
Sitting at the table of empty
"If I can catch her in attitude
I'll make her eat every penny"

Beat, beat, beat, beat her down
Never let her shine
"I am my beloved's
And He is mine"

...His banner over me is LOVE

Take her possessions
Take her house
"I'll take her position
And kick her out"

Blind, halt, naked
Ashamed and afraid
"I'll prove her a liar
 A product of what LOVE has made"

...Isolation...Framed...Glory~Mamed

Running in the wilderness
A pack of wolves in pursuit
"I'll take her hope
So she'll know LOVE collects loot"

She's at the edge
We can't let her escape
"I will give her deception
Waiting at the Pearly gate"

...Nakedness is out of season
........all your suffering has no reason

"I will answer you
With a mighty sword
I see you clearly through the fire
You lust after the fuel
Of my WORD
That blasts forth LOVE's desire
...........to choose

My nakedness scares
Your insecurity
My love, in spite of pain
Maims your assurity 
...in program

When you sit 
At the Table of Plenty
Rest in the TRUTH
You are empty

ONLY LOVE IS FULL
...........and receives alllllllll GLORY"
