Poetry - Bonnie Wilks

In a week from today, we will be celebrating the life of Charlotte Baker - in a worship service in Dallas. (Please come if you can - we will worship into the night just as she would want us to!) One of the things I am most grateful to her for, is her vision for the restoration of the arts...not just to have arts restored to the Church, but to see arts restored to worship and the prophetic realm. All this to say how much I have always loved the poetry of Bonnie Saul Wilks. Take a moment today to meditate on these words and draw near to the Lord. Bonnie always takes us on such a sublime journey...stay a while…linger in this one thought:

One Thought Alone
Bonnie Wilks

Mortality and eternity
Pull me at once
In opposite directions.
I am indentured and indebted, living in realtime
And heavenly seasons. I am a soldier and princess at once, waging war and dancing before my King.
But one day I'll let
Go this world in its
Decay and corruption to
Fly through golden skies
Awash with Angels with
Sounding silver trumpets
With one thought alone--
To see His face
To kiss His hands
To bury my head
In His riven side
