BESIDE STILL WATERS THE VEIL BY RUSANNE JOURDAN
The veil was torn from top to bottom on that day The earth shook, the darkness came and it appeared Christ was dead The veil that separated was ripped for us to walk right in Into the throne room Into a relationship with God Into a new way of life and an eternal life to come The veil separated, blocked and kept hidden The veil we can wear separates us from the radical, never-ending, never-surpassing love God has for us The veil we can wear attempts to hide us from the forgiven sin and shame of our past The veil can masquerade as a false means of protection The veil can get thicker and heavier as time goes by Wearing it each day can create a burden too heavy for one to walk in the freedom and joy our Father plans for us
So decide today, sister Take a deep breath in of God’s wind of worship Beat on the drum of His blessings to be And lift the veil and lift your voices Singing Praises to thee No more hiding No more shame No more living behind the wall and shadow of the veil Come forward Come free Come home To where He calls you to be The veil has dropped to the floor beneath and behind you Come sister He is holding your hand gently yet tightly, never letting go Ready to take you toward all He has for you!
