THE FACE
OF GRACE
Surrounded by unusual light, reflecting here and there,
A mass of colour, the full array of the rainbow
Surging like the waves of the ocean
Such beauty to behold
Where was this place, what destination is this,
Never had I seen such a place
Yet it feels so familiar, as if
I was meant to be here
Face upon face that I come across
Appeared to reflect such brilliance
Glimpses of which I had only seen
On rare occasions before
The past seemed to be just as if
A breath had been taken
Time was still, yet things continued
Where was this place?
It was not anywhere that I had known
I gazed around to ask
Greeted by face after face
That looked familiar
Each face reflected such beauty
It seemed to come from one direction
As I turned, the light got stronger
My heart began to beat faster
The most brilliant figure that you could imagine
Stood there in front of me
His face shone with such brilliance
His features were hidden by it
But then I realised that I was
In the presence of the creator Himself
Falling down in awe of Him
I heard Him say
Child, let me take your hand
I want to show you who you are
It was then that I realised
That I had met the
Face of Grace
