Within the face of divinity The church would see there appears to me Another face in an inward place Where we are there in our time and space Enlightened clearer than their dark mirror A face my own when I am alone Seeing my face by freeing the grace Of being here now in time and space Nor God as he then appears to be And not he nor she but everybody Freeing myself now seeing how you Fleeing the church and becoming free Being yourself are freeing God too Nearer than far as we are and do Farther than near we are God now and here In our time and space in a face our own God is us to know as we are known +Steven Curtis Lance Copyright MMXI
