I will sing for the veil that never lifts/I will sing for the veil that begins, once in a life time maybe, to lift/I will sing for the rent in the veil/I will sing for what is in front of the veil, the floating light/ I will sing for what is behind the veil—light, light and more light/This is the world and this is the work of the world. ~Mary Oliver

No Shadow
Offering
by Paul Baloche
The sun cannot compare
To the glory of Your love
There is no shadow in Your presence
No mortal man would dare
To stand before Your throne
Before the Holy One of heaven
It's only by your blood
And it's only by your mercy
Lord, I come
(Chorus)
I bring an offering
Of worship to my King
No one on earth deserves
The praises that I sing
Jesus may you receive
The honor that You're due
O Lord, I bring an offering to you
I bring an offering to you
No shadow in his presence. There are too many shadows around me; shadows at my job, shadows in the calls that come into the counseling department, shadows in the worlds TV mega phone. There are shadows in me, shadows around my future and shadows around my past.
And then this glorious news comes, there is a place with no shadow. So Lord I come, to stand in your presence. I come to stand in a light that cleanses me from the shadows. I come to stand before the one who is not confused about any of it. I don’t need all the answers when I stand there. I just want to feel the purity and holiness of your light. Yes, I come and my worship is an inexpressible thankfulness for your light.
