Oneness With God
We say we read the scriptures for they are the light of men
But sadly we neglect the Truth of God we find therein
The Truth that seeks the depth of love that's found by those who find
Its beauty by devotion of their body soul and mind
For as the scriptures tell us everything that's written there
When studied with an open heart each morning while in prayer
Is written for our profit for His Spirit to dwell in
Our inner most perceptions to draw us away from sin
To make of us a people who know Him to be our God
To know His very presence in each daily path we trod
To feel His breath upon us as He breathes on us His word
That only in the deepest sense of love is clearly heard
For all of our perception when it comes to knowing Him
Is found within the scriptures as His Spirit flows through them
Into our understanding as the Light of Life we see
Displayed for our enlightenment in perfect clarity
But if we fail to seek Him in the body of His Word
To wait in meditation for His Spirit to be heard
Then we will fail of gaining all the beauty waiting there
Awaiting our reception as we linger there in prayer
And if we do not listen then we cannot understand
The meaning and the purpose for the things that He has planned
In each event that happens in the course of each new day
Because we do not listen when we come to Him and pray
For just like in a marriage when two souls are knit as one
And that one life together as one body has begun
So we in our relationship with God is meant to be
A time of perfect union filled with living purity
That purity of oneness as we are with God His own
In intimate connection far beyond what we have known
When following a pattern that's set out by other men
Who know not God's desire to draw us away from sin
Into that perfect union illustrated by the life
God gave when He made Adam and he knew Eve as his wife
That was the glue that bound them as one body filled with love
That illustrates the oneness that the scriptures teach us of
Song of Solomon 1; 2 Timothy 2:15; John 5:39; Deuteronomy 7:9; 30:20
