Birthing
A pillar of cloud by day
Blazing with fire by night
Look up!
Your redemption draws near!
Stephen Pursell, 9/04, for Oroville
To tabernacle in you
Fit for his presence to dwell
Washed in the blood of the Lamb
A bride in white
For you are to be married
Sought After, No Longer Deserted
Hold fast
Soon you will be clean
Your dragon skin slashed away
Soon your reputation will glimmer
But it is for but a moment
Your shame for all to see
It hurts to have your skirts lifted
But joy comes in the morning
Weeping lasts for a night
Faint not as he strips you
Your Father brings Life
Embrace your labor
Oh, but a beautiful child!
What child is born painlessly?
But first you must endure
A glorious new life awaits you
Your day approaches
Even now, the first rays are upon you
Do not shrink
Fat with the ore of Ophir
Laden with diamonds
City of Gold
