Let me see (a poem)

Let me see

Let me see again the light
Give to me that sacred sight
That these fast passing days I might
Thru the night walk aright
Before the Light of the world

Ecstasies let my mind know
Let my eyes see let my heart grow
My sweat, blood, and tears flow
As I bow this clay body low
Before the Light of the world

I've loved flesh and pride and gain
But not when I see the lamb I've slain
Beams of joy from wounds of pain
I drink the wine free as the rain
Before the Light of the world

I saw how your own did not receive
Your testimony would not believe
Knew not the Father either and were deceived
Dared even in anger to seethe
Before the Light of the world

I see the wages sin imparts
The aimless hate and broken hearts
The children all are torn apart
And the kings are still searching in the dark
Before the Light of the world

I long to see the latter days
Sun of righteousness with healing in its rays
On every groaning nation displays
Every knee bow and every toungue praise
Before the Light of the world

I read John 8 http://www.gnpcb.org/esv/search/?q=John+8 earlier in the day when I wrote this.

And I had this song in my head http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8TgzTfume2c they kind of go together. The song is not exclusively Christian., but does have allot of Biblical imagery.
