Surrounded by unusual light, reflecting here and there,A mass of colour, the full array of the rainbow

Surging like the waves of the oceanSuch beauty to behold.

Where was this place? what destination is this?Never had I seen such a placeYet 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 knownI gazed around to ask,

Greeted by face after faceThat looked familiar.

Each face reflected such beauty,It seemed to come from one direction.

As I turned, the light got strongerMy heart began to beat faster.

The most brilliant figure that you could imagineStood there in front of me.

His face shone with such brilliance,His features were hidden by it.

But then I realised that I wasIn the presence of the creator Himself.

Falling down in awe of HimI heard Him say,

“Child, let me take your handI want to show you who you are.”

It was then that I realisedThat I had met the

Face of Grace

THE FATHERS HAND

Let me take you by the handAnd I will lead you on.

Come child of mine,Just like a father to his son,Let me take you by the hand

And I will lead you on.

When you are weak, I am strong,Come, child of mine, take my hand

And I will lead you on.I will not let you go,

Trust me and I will lead you on.

At times you thought I was far away,It was then I said,

Come, child of mine, let me take youBy the hand and embrace you with love,Come trust me, and I will lead you on.

When the way gets steep, and you seem troubled,Come, child of mine, let me take you

By the hand and lead you on.

When all around you seems so darkCome child of mine,

let me take you by the hand and lead you onLead you into my light, my light of love.

Let me surround you, and shield youUnder my arms of love

Come child of mine let me love you,Let me shield you, let me take you by the hand

And lead you on.

Father where you lead I will followTake me by the hand and lead me on.
