"But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost: in whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them.... For God, who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, hath shined in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.... while we look, not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal, but the things which are not seen are eternal" (2 Corinthians 4:3-18).
Heaven is hidden to those who are lost,
Though God would instruct and enlighten their mind.
But now they are driven like ships that are tossed
By waves of deception that render them blind.
But God, who commanded the light of creation
To shine out of darkness, has shined in our hearts
To give us the light of the great revelation
Of Christ and the wonderful grace He imparts!
How bright are the heavenly vistas thus shown,
And great is the glory of Jesus our Lord
Exalted above every name that is known,
As we behold things that by faith are explored!
O Lord, we give thanks for the vision to see
Beyond things that surely must soon pass away!
May we be the light that You've called us to be,
So those lost in darkness may find You today.
