PHOENIX RISING

Why build again the walls which keep outside the Light?

Why yoke yourself with darkness and the children of the night?

Why lift yourself so high as to sit upon My throne?

Why join in on the party where everyone is all alone?

Why frolic with the devils and those who cannot see?

Why lead me to that cross, why must you see me bleed?

Why call evil good and confuse my children’s minds?

Why break your lovers heart for the sake of your good times?

Why trade Me in for silver, why kiss Me on the cheek?

Why choose to wear the millstone, why sow this seed to reap?

Not my will, but Fathers

Not my way, but His own

Not my plans or methods

But His will be done alone

Not my imagination, to run a selfish course

But a mind completely yielded to the One who does not force

The shining one has fallen, his jealousy enraged

he promises the world, and puts you in a cage

he enslaves you to the desires of your belly and your lust

this is exactly where he wants you with your treasures and their rust

But I have overcome it all, being God and man as One

You put me once upon the cross, the Father in the Son

I tasted death, went to the grave, as your reproaches fell on me

On your behalf I did lie dead so that you would be set free

In three days I got back up and rolled away the stone

I visited with many, and began to build My home

Just as Eve came forth from Adam, so came forth My precious wife

Stand with me, my lover true, as I breathe into you New Life

I give you a faithful nature, which is the same as Mine

I don’t patch up old wineskins, I fill you with My New Wine

Now follow Me, as I lead you on, as an eagle you shall soar

through the mountains and the valleys as in the days before

Within My walls are windows which shine forth My precious Light

I AM separate from darkness, and the evil of the night

I AM lifted up and in first place, seated upon the throne

I have my precious wife, never to be alone

All things are revealed to you, in My presence you do see

The answer of the mystery which was purposed throughout eternity

There is no more confusion, but wonder to behold

Eternal Life in glory, which was declared in days of old
