(Based on 2 Cor 3: 17-18)

As I gaze at you
I open myself to you
to gaze into my soul.
I lay myself bare, like an empty bowl.

Peer into the deep recesses of my heart.
Plant your grace within me, never to depart.
Turn the darkness bright.
Make my face reflect your Light.

Transformed by the power of your glance
imparted by your Spirit: the freedom to dance.
Our lives tell the salvation story,
changed from glory to glory.

Mold me unto you,
make my love more true.
I am yours and you are mine
in this Covenant Divine.
