Reversing Life#
The last shall be first, and first shall be last. (Matthew 20:16)
LORD, HIGH AND HOLY, MEEK AND LOWLY.
You have brought me to the valley of vision...
Let me learn my faith aright. For, it is in depths I dwell while the heights I see.
Let me learn by paradox that:
the way down is the way up
to be low is to be high
the broken heart is the healed heart
the contrite spirit is the rejoicing spirit
the repenting soul is the victorious soul
to have nothing is to gain all
to bear the cross is to wear a crown
to give is no loss, and
this valley is the place of vision above.
The Last Word:
Let me see Your glory on high, from my valley.
