The terror of affirmation

The terror of affirmation

by Joel Howard

Acts 10:1-8

Faithful, faithful 

All these days

Generous in all your ways

Now you see

This light

It pains 

Your eyes

You stare

You stare, amazed

This the terror of affirmation

Wonder-struck by 

Intonation

Face to face with affirmation

Child, 

Your works are

Known in heaven

This to little ones abroad

And ones round here

The saints who trod

Faithfully

Without a nod

'Other ones

Without a nod

When terror strikes

To some, to many

Neath the rubble

Of condemning

Some will face

Another fright

Face to face

With affirm's light

Chosen good

When others bad

Some regrets

To others, glad

You may feel him 

Stare and then

Affirmation 

Strikes again

Full dumbfound

Full commendation

This the terror

of affirmation

Nothing you can do about it

Grace has found you

Tell about it!
Grace surrounds you

Tell about it!
