Revelation
I have fought the battle;
Stood firm in my love of God;
Risen above being a mere mortal.
Winged beasts take my body,
Now wrapped and swaddled.
It is broken and stained from the ravages of war
They lift it up to be burned in the fires
Where I can be purified
Cleansed of this life.
My spirit fully released.

I am ready to meet my God -
Face His judgement
And pass through the eye of the needle,
Through the gates of heaven,
Into eternal peace and tranquility.
I am ready to show that my life here on this earth
Has not been in vain.
I have brought my light into the world.
Sometimes it has flickered
And I have found solace in others' strength;
Other times it has burned strong
And been a beacon for others
Who have needed that same reminder
That reminder to rise up
And carry on.

I have been His hands and feet;
I have served others,
In the hopes of showing God's fine love
To those who are blind and cannot to see.
They need to see if they are to be saved.
His strength has carried me
Through the darkness
That has tried to prevail...
But we have won!
Darkness has been beaten back.
Light cascades down from the heavens;
Hope is reborn.
I am reborn.
From the ashes
I rise.
