No Longer Concealed

When we’re faced with Truth, we have no other response but to come out from our hiding place. There would be no compulsion to lie or deceive because nothing can be kept hidden in the Light. The slightest effort to turn away from what brings us to conviction will be in vain because truth cuts into corners and illuminates the dark areas long forgotten.

“Search me, O God search me and know my heart,
Try me and prove me in the hidden part;
Cleanse me and make me holy as Thou art,
And lead me in the way everlasting.

Give me the heart that naught can change or chill,
The love that loves unchanged through good or ill,
That joy that through all trials triumphs still,
And lead me in the way everlasting.

Take my poor heart and only let me love
the things that always shall abiding prove;
Bind all my heart strings to the world above
And lead me in the way everlasting.”
