THE LORD DOTH SPEAK

      BEHOLD, THE LORD DOTH SPEAK,

BUT WHO WILL HEAR?

THE WORD HE SPEAKS SO DISTINCT AND CLEAR,

TO CLEANSE THINE HEART,

AND WALK UPRIGHT,

TO FLEE FROM DARKNESS AND

DWELL IN LIGHT,

THAT GOD, HIMSELF, BECOMES

SO REAL,

THAT WE WOULD LOSE OUR LIFE

TO DO HIS WILL.

TRUELY, THE LORD DOTH SPEAK,

AND STILL MEN HIDE,

BECAUSE OF THE NAKEDNESS

THEY FEEL INSIDE.

PUT ON THY GARMENTS OF

GLEAMING WHITE.

PURE RIGHTOUSNESS IS THE

LORD’S DELIGHT.

LAY ASIDE THE GARMENTS THAT

ARE STAINED WITH SIN,

AND SANCTIFY THE LORD, THY

GOD, WITHIN.

QUIETLY, THE LORD DOTH SPEAK

TO THE HEARING EAR,

TRUE WORDS THAT NO ONE ELSE

CAN HEAR.

WHERE HE BIDS THEE COME, NO

DEATH IS FOUND,

BUT LIFE EVERLASTING DOES

THERE ABOUND,

AND IT’S NOT SOME PLACE BE-

YOND OUR REACH,

BUT IT’S THE FULLNESS OF CHRIST

OF WHOM WE TEACH.
