Rest inside the truth of truth
Silence the doubtful mind
Cleanse the heart of selfish reason
Depart from the cry of the flesh
Give ear unto your spirit

Close the eye of what is seen
Shut the ear of man’s noise
Turn the heart to one’s own youth
That we may awaken what we are
That we may know what we become

For God is not unaware of us
Nor absent in our dwellings
With voice that speaks in all things
And acts of love all around us
That we may choose the holy path

Of our flesh are there pains
And the needs of life pursue us
Man sets a stage we master to live
Distracting from our actual selves
In darkness of the life that is our life

Yet of our spirit – it need be not so
Even in sorrow we may be at peace
Even in chains we may be free
Even in suffering may we make joy
Even in death we are born to life

For not one who sees with their spirit
Is ever alone in all their steps
Nor are the deaf alive in silence
As the voice of God speaks to them
Even the cripple do fly in God’s presence

As men we perceive such horror
The world around us burns with grief
Tyranny rules the tyrannical ruler
Where children sleep with no food
And the elderly pray for release

But in the hand of God
Is a different light within us
Our fears transform to faith
Our loss becomes a gain
Our emptiness is filled with love

All life is loved and cared for
And it is designed to honor you
Not of the flesh, but of the spirit
Does all matters of our path
Align with what we are to witness

Though the world produces chains
And steals all that was meant for you
It is they who are absent of treasure
As they see not beyond their bones
To the child of God within you

Yet all events are accounted for
And the thief will answer his works
What was lost will be returned to all
As he who gave will be given too
And he who took will be taken from

Listen again with spirit alone
So it is known I speak not of brothers
For the thief is a spirit of darkness
That oppressor rules our oppressors
And hides until he claims himself lord

As the children of God
Are meant for greatness
Not one will be denied the truth
Before all life will life be revealed
And before God shall we all present

Endure and endure the flesh
With courage and prayer always
For it often blinds our true self
With slave driving consuming tasks
Of the wicked master of foolishness

Ask God to feed instead your spirit
That eyes may open to the Kingdom
And ears may open to the truth
So that we can see what is hidden
And can accept what is truly offered

For all that we call wonderful
Has been given by God our Father
And all that we call beautiful
And everything that we find good
Is directly from God to us

So then know what is to be known
That we can worship the world
And prosper in its wickedness
That the world does hate God
And tries to punish they who are His

But God is far greater than the world
And Master even of the liar
Their time is short before the throne
As our realities become revealed
That our time with God is everlasting

So that when our spirits are fed
Are we too also then fed in body
And when our spirit is secure
So too is our flesh secure
That our needs are met always in both

For greater a need is to our spirit
Than that of our flesh which strives
And when our life is of our real self
So too are our bones blessed
For that is the fullness of God

As it is by spirit we see truth
And by spirit we hear wisdom
And by spirit we discover newness
And by spirit we understand love
And by spirit we know God

The flesh can only perceive the world

This is of a great truth
That God has always loved us
And desires that we may have life
That we may overcome our disability
Through His power that Is our life
