I wanted to the hear the Angel speak,
And find the path of glory;
Attain the highest holy peak,
In all that’s in store for me;
To go so high, I went far down,
This, the path of holy men;
To live Your life of great renown,
I had to die in spirit from sin;
I died, and gained the Spirit-breath,
Of the righteous King and Priest;
The One who died a lonely death,
Yet lives again to save the least;
It’s then, I find the greater truth:
That, with Jesus, there’s no higher,
With history and the Spirit as proof;
He is the Lord and no dead liar

Yeeaaaahhhh!!!
Love this. The first line is my favourite because we can hear the heavenly beings speak to us, not in words but in an amazing music.
Love the hope, the light, the fire, the truth in this. Yet another incredible write.
love, light & peace
