The Riven Veil

Deep within the inner mind;

A voice cries to find release,

To be united with the Christ,

To feel and know an inward peace.

 

The carnal mind, that man of sin,

Rebellious, crude, and spirit blind,

Stood as a veil twixt Yah and me;

That veil the Savior split in twine.

 

The inner mind held captive there,

By the power of death through sin,

Christ entered death and took the key,

And came inside to dwell within.

 

Christ within, the resurrection,

Giving light, expanding scope,

Will banish every breath of sin,

This then, fulfills our blessed hope.
