Unveiled
by Kate Munson

You see me naked and exposed
No more hidden self
No need to feel opposed
For You know my inner thoughts
My dreams and hopes
You see the bruises of wounds
Inflicted by those who know not what they do.
It’s as if You’ve lifted the veil
That covered me,
A mask I wore to prevent you from knowing me intimately.
Brokenness is my companion,
Suffering my guide,
But all leads me closer, deeper; at Your side.
The curtains open and reveal the face of my soul
I’m real, I’m here, You’re fully and wholly in control.
Have Your way in me, mend the pieces fragmented and disheveled
My hope’s been torn to a thread, my hearts been leveled.
Sincerity is greeted with hate
and my attempts to relentlessly hold to You
cause them to neglect, ostracize and create
a false sense of peace, a false unity
only Your love, grace and truth grants me immunity
from allowing my spirit to be shredded
thankfully, through this I’m deeply ingrained
absolutely imbedded
beneath the shadow of Your wings~
So I’ll continue to walk the narrow, to Your garment I’ll cling
The door will be shut behind me
From the fury You tell me to flee
I run as Your precious daughter
Into the arms of the Great Loving Father
You’re a protector, a guide, a warrior, a King
And I’m simply Yours, in the making
So continue to strip me until I’m bare, rip the pride, the self,
Bring me emotional wholeness, spiritual wealth
Cultivate a fear only of You, not of man,
for what harm can come,
When I rest in your hands?
May I be renewed, built on the foundation that is my Creator
May the knowledge of You penetrate me more
and Saturate all of me, to the depths, to my core
For I am Yours,
Spoken for
And I am claimed by you, My Lord.
the canopy falls
the gate opens and calls,
for me to enter the Holy of Holies
and so I close my eyes and go to my knees
I pray that I will abandon this world and its enticing cry
And shout to You, my all and all
Here Am I.

When the day is done
And there's no one else around
While I'm lying here in bed
You're in my heart, You're in my head
You're all I need, You're all I need
There are a million voices Calling out my name
But You're the One I want to hear
So make the others disappear
You are all I need when I'm surrounded
You are all I need if I'm by myself
You fill me when I'm empty
There is nothing else
You're all I need
When the morning comes
And Your mercy is renewed
There's a fire in my bones
I'm not afraid to go alone
You're all I need You're all I need
The sun on my face I hear You whisper loud
You're still the God that opens seas
Every flower, even me
You're all I need You're all I need
I'm drawn to everything that You do
Nothing compares with You
