Xenos (Movement I)

Paralyzed with arms lifted high, entranced in awe of enlightenment
Overwhelmed by the stark contrast of revelation
«Descended fire to forgive, kindled desire to live and breathe again
Renewed perspective and meaning, empowered by the flame indwelling.»
Transformation of reason, eyes opened wide to the existence of truth
Truth, transcending the futile grasp of understanding
Object of desire now realized, this yearning inside intensifies
Fervently seeking the warm embrace of restoration
Tumultuous waters recede and subside as the firm foundation of life is revealed
in the light
The frailty of expended efforts is enveloped in the overriding of faith
The great mystery disclosed, the shedding of blood for the hope of glory
Hope that drowns out the echoing cries of desperation
And joy that fills the depths of the barren void
Peace surpassing the reach of self-fulfillment, love overshadowing ultimate
self-concern
«I am yours to command
Come and send me Lord
By your will, I will be your vessel, Lord
My life is yours to demand what you would of me
Light my path, and I will give my life to you.»
