Yesterday

Yesterday I knew a sky of scorching heat
while sofocating I was without heart beat
Yesterday I was a man without a country
Whose land despised and spit me out
and I wandered and ventured to knew horizons
Today I am a citizen of Heaven

Yesterday I thought i was free
while all along I was in chains
Now I am free indeed
Now I yearn to be a saint in prison
for the sake of Your name

Yesterday I wrote a sad song that only ached
the hearts and ears of he who heard
Today I write songs of joy and praise 
May they bring delight to the seed of eve

Yester day I fled in fear of His contenance
Now I can not turn away.
There are no eyes like His
I know because I walked the lands of His world
I came from the scorching heat to the frozen soil
and there were not other eyes like HIS

I ask the heavens 
this only one desire
that in His eyes i may dwell
I have walked the lands of this world
and this one thing I've come to say

I came from the heat to the cold lands
I walked from the south to the north
and I did not find eyes like that of my maker

I walked the red coals and now I slip on the white grounds
and 
I did not find eyes like yours

Yesterday i saw you,  daugter of eve 
under the cool shade of our God
Well in the rest of our maker.
Peaceful and safe in his love. 

This I come to say
I come from the heat and You are from the soils with frost
I found the owner of both lands
He called me here to find his rest. 
He called me here to melt the icy hearts of the indwellers
He called me here to rest in the coolness of His shade

Lets conquer both lands my icy maiden
For the Glory of HIS Name
Lets bring the heat of his LOVE to cold hearts
Lets bring the Coolness of his Rest to the
Sofocating  beatless hearts.
