"The Outer Faces of His Inner Grace."

 
We've seen the faces of anger
and we've seen the faces of rage

I'd like to see the faces of Peace
and the faces of Bliss that come
from the inner-workings of Gods
Abundant Grace

We've seen the faces of deviant,
sexual-perversions and the faces
of twisted lusts, but, to see the
faces of Mercy and the faces of
Love, that come from the denial
of ones own self-gratification and
selfish whims, is a must

And, we've seen the faces of those
who are living in torments and in
who are living in a nightmarish hell
in their minds; within whom, their
souls are dead and the feelings they
feel, only cause them pain and
agonizing dread

But, I desire with all of my heart and
into this endeavor I'll dive headfirst;
because it overwhelms my emotions
with such an incredible thirst...

That's to see these people whose lives
are in this place, as can be seen on the
cover of their face, be filled with the,
All-Abounding Glory of His Grace so
that Joy and Brightness and Beauty that
comes from His Salvation working
within, is the new, Pleasant look that
Rests upon them

1 How lovely is your dwelling place,
Lord Almighty!

2 My soul yearns, even faints,
for the courts of the Lord;
my heart and my flesh cry out
for the living God.

3 Even the sparrow has found a home,
and the swallow a nest for herself,
where she may have her young—
a place near your altar,
Lord Almighty, my King and my God.

4 Blessed are those who dwell in your house;
they are ever praising you.

5 Blessed are those whose strength is in you,
whose hearts are set on pilgrimage.

6 As they pass through the Valley of Baka,
they make it a place of springs;
the autumn rains also cover it with pools.

7 They go from strength to strength,
till each appears before God in Zion.

8 Hear my prayer, Lord God Almighty;
listen to me, God of Jacob.

9 Look on our shield,e O God;
look with favor on your anointed one.

10 Better is one day in your courts
than a thousand elsewhere;
I would rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God
than dwell in the tents of the wicked.

11 For the Lord God is a sun and shield;
the Lord bestows favor and honor;
no good thing does he withhold
from those whose walk is blameless.

12 Lord Almighty, blessed is the one who
trusts in you.
