YOU ARE FAR MORE

You embrace some form saying, "I am this." By God, you are not this or that or the other You are "Unique One" "Heart-ravishing" You are throne and palace and king you are bird and snare and fowler Like water in jar and river are in essence the same you and the spirit are the same Every idol...

ROYAL PRIESTHOOD

The race of God's anointed priests shall never pass away; Before His glorious Face they stand, and serve Him night and day. Though reason raves, and unbelief flows on, a mighty flood, There are, and shall be, till the end, the hidden priests of God. His chosen souls, their earthly dross consumed in...
