Naked

Afraid to walk in the light

We walk in shadows

Whispers all around us

echoes our pasts. 

It hunts us day and night

like a lion waiting for its prey.

The accusers  say to us, 

the truth will find you out one day.

And if it does what next?

Oh no,  we would be known to all,

exposed to the world to be scorned

Is shame the ultimate punishment for our deeds?

If it is, we have feared in vain

In vain we have walked in darkness

For if shame is the ultimate price,

let us pay our debts now

We no longer  desire to wait fearfully

for that day to come

Let that day come now

Let us see our salvation

Let us approach the light that

We may see the one who took

the shame of this world upon himself

so we no longer have to walk in shame

Let us see Christ,

Let him be known

Let him cleanse and illuminate our lives
