Transforming Faith

II Corinthians 3:12-18

Seeing through faith in having such a hope,
The plainness of our speech helps us cope;
No longer with a veil over the face as then,
At the time of Moses for to abolish it when;
With blinded minds the veil still remained,
As an Old Testament reading was obtained;
After Christ, the veil finally done away,
But still upon the heart to this very day;
Turning to the Lord gone will be the veil,
The Lord to be a Spirit liberty to prevail;
With unveiled faces reflecting God's glory,
Able to openly proclaim the Gospel story.
Many changes do occur in all of our lives,
As an old law dies as a new one survives;
Signs of the times tendency to transform,
When there is a need or desire to reform;
Our transformation as the Spirit enters in,
Enriches our faith to atone from our sin;
Discarding the veil that covers the heart,
Opening our eyes for a brand new start.
