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
