The Hope Of Glory

Moments seemingly lost

Yet indelibly etched in me

Woven into the fabric of my being

And so He forms in me

The image of Himself

Christ in me

The hope of Glory

Stephen Pursell, 11/98

So many precious secrets

More colors as my days pass

Each season represented

It grows

It changes

He adds to it

He improves it

Such beauty to gaze upon

So great the cost

Written in the tablet of my soul

The last leaf accounted for

Each petal: an experience

I gaze upon the garden of my life

Each stone: a moment

Each stalk: a period
