Christ:
The Landscape of Life

Part Twenty-four

“LO and BEHOLD”

(H)

NOW NO MORE SECRETS, saith the Lord;
Nothing from Me is concealed!
All that is hidden shall now be uncovered,
Everything must be revealed!

For I must convince you that I am Omniscient,
That I can see into your heart!
That I know your innermost, unspoken thoughts,
And I know My “dark counterpart”!

My enemy serves only MY Sovereign Purpose,
While testing and challenging Me!
Though he has beleaguered and vexed you;
From him I am setting you free!

So come and confess to Me all your dark secrets,
Trust Me that I will not harm you!
Trying to hide them has made you suspicious
All of my warnings alarm you!

But I am your LOVING AND MERCIFUL FATHER,
I come to heal and to save!
My only desire and My holy design
Is to free every soul from the grave!

So, arise and be free, all you people of God!
Throw off all your shackles of fear!
Your Savior has paid your impossible ransom,
Your debt to your God is now clear!

The doors of your dungeon of death are flung open,
Come forth now, and walk in the sun!
The past is behind you, all shadows have flown,
And your True Life in Christ is begun!

You shall now walk in POWER AND GLORY,
As your Robes have been washed in His Blood;
For the Garden of Eden is with you again
And your flow’r is released from its bud!

You were fashioned in secret, but now I shall openly
Show forth My Handiwork IN you;
All that I AM is what you shall be;
And long shall your Christ-Life continue!

Bowed down once in shame; now risen in glory,
Your Seed and your Wheat are now “Bread”;
Go feed all the nations with Life Everlasting,
Personify all that I’ve said!

And walk without fear, but with hearts of humility;
Stand in the Light of My Glory!
Rise up in Righteousness, Isaac of Israel,
Tell all the world of My Story!
