To know the light you must risk the dark
A given proposition of enlightenment
Pleading for you
It asks nothing but election

To realize darkness you must first discriminate the light
The recognition first that it is
And It is what it says it is
That it will always be
Not of derivation
Nor in necessity it need naught to sustain

I Am is To Be and is never once was
But to discern is to be given a gift
A Spirit To Be not of once was
But to be of what nothing else can
And this now be your arise

To suspend the darkness the light must penetrate you
The law demands what it cannot provide
As hope befalls treasure
The mystery of God is freely yours
And Christ in you is its worth

As life is so, so love does anticipate
Longing to reside in you
Death has mislaid its command
And in Truth it is no longer your concern

So be free without fear that takes your heart captive
Meet me where the wood intersects
For I have been, and have purchased you there
Paid in full states the seal upon your head

From my life and in my blood
The grave has been filled
Yet not able to claim that which was within
Unable to assert demise
As the Spirit gave to rise
The firstborn from among the dead

Raising breath imparts that you may now breathe life
Yet to have Life
To walk on above death
You must first
See the rays of the Son
