Unveiled
by Kate Munson
written 9/26/05
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.

I think this is a awesome blog! No better time than now to improve Lower Back Pain Discover how to improve Lower Back Pain
i love your poems. =) my favorite line is 'absolutely imbedded beneath the shadow of your wings'...it just really speaks of the solidarity that is ours if we only rest inside His protection. and the immunity thing...having an interest in immunology as i do, that also brings up thoughts. immunity can be innate- as in something we're born with- or learned immunity- something we develop immunity to after exposure, usually after the innate immunity is overrun. God moves in power and He is the One protecting you. He is the antibody. He is mobilizing your defenses. He is the One that heals what we cannot. He is taking over for the failures of ourselves. and it's beautiful. i love you so much and love how God delibrately speaks through your writing.

What a great poem!!! I love hearing your heart and getting just a glimpse of the power and glory of God through you. Keep fighting, fix the eyes on Jesus, He is carrying you. Thank you for allowing Jesus to work through you. Your life blesses me.
Hello my precious Katey Ann
Your poem is amazing and it is awesome to read something so beautiful. I love how the Lord works and it was just encouraging to get a new sense of hope and a visual that allows me to just rest in the Lord. I don't know if that even makes sense, but thank you for posting that. Thanks for pursuing the Lord and for allowing Him to love you. You are able to show me so many things Kate, because of your dedication and obedience to the Lord. Love you tons!
Love,
Tressa
