The Letters

In a world of desperate need
18 letters were to see
To recognize His sacred face
Some would see in a dream
Others dared to gaze in His eyes
9 prophets of old one to fulfill them all
In this time a search for truth
A quest for meaning and for life
Pondering along the way
Did you know they all had to choose
Recognize the truth in His eyes
9 prophets of old one to fulfill them all
He gathered close these blessed souls
Addressing each their own command
You’ve all been chosen for this task
And He sent them all on their way
Armed with love in their hearts
9 prophets of old one to fulfill them all
Each in turn would separately find their way
But not reveal the secret of Shiraz
18 souls would have to learn the truth
Till the number was complete
To see a world with hearts ablaze
Opening the gates of grace
With longing searching for this day
And I know alone I must choose
Recognize the truth of His life
9 prophets of old one to fulfill them all
O my Letters, verily I say, immensely exalted is this Day, above the days… of
Old*
