SHADOWS

They saw in shadows

Darkly, looking through a veil

Secrets for tomorrow

Hidden, reserved for some other

The Spirit to them did signify

The works of Christ to sanctify

The plan: Adam made whole again

The promise: to pour out the rain

Of it they saw; for it they sought

Condemned to hope; in darkness to grope

They longed for it; thirsted for it

'Twas kept for us; only for us

For us, the darkness is lit

In Christ, the veil is slit

No longer in darkness crawling

No longer in shadows we see

The day has come; the hour is now

The promise is here; the promise is now
