Cloud of Witnesses

I no longer squander my life

Now that this cloud’s met my sight;

In the barrens

dark as the night

From afar off

came its light;

Which

like fiery pillar bright

Floods my pathway with might

For my life

new hope ignites

Every footstep it guides.

Oh

how rich my life has become

As I pursue this bright cloud;

Universal pillar of truth

Through the long ages unbowed;

This

the operating God

In the flesh manifest

Gives me faith beyond compare

Matchless comfort and rest.

With great boldness I can press on

Now I possess this bright cloud;

Brothers’

sisters’ powerful love

Bolsters

upholds and surrounds.

Truth my spirit ’lluminates;

How exhaustless this grace;

No more sighs and wand’ring days;

Now my heart’s found its place.

With you all I’m joined blent as one

Part of this bright cloud today;

What a glorious

splendid sky;

Of crooked age unafraid.

Let me boldly forward press

Testimony upraised;

May it

more magnificent

Shine from age to age.

O Lord! O Lord!

All encumb’ring weights

I’d lay down

Live in this radiant cloud.
