LIVING IN
ANOTHER DIMENSION
Do you ever
have the feeling when at His feet you're kneeling;
And to you He's
still revealing all the wisdom of His Love,
That you've
entered ANOTHER DIMENSION?
When you feel
you are no longer of this world, and the other's stronger
In its pulling,
and you hunger to know and see it's glory,
You've entered
ANOTHER DIMENSION OF SPACE.
When a sense of
urgency o'ertakes you, when the sin of this world breaks you;
When the
shortness of the days makes you
Aware there is
so much more to do;
You've entered
ANOTHER DIMENSION OF TIME.
When His voice
gets your attention and His name is too sacred to mention
Aloud, and you
feel the tension
Of this world
just slipping away.
You've entered
ANOTHER DIMENSION OF HEARING.
When your eyes
take on new vision, and your heart beats with a mission,
And your mind
struggles with a decision
That you know
God wants you to make,
You've entered
ANOTHER DIMENSION OF SEEING.
We're in this
world, not of it; to forsake it, not to love it;
Not to partake
of it, but live above it,
While teaching,
baptizing, and discipling in His Name
And all the
time we're living in ANOTHER DIMENSION.
This
poem was written one day after observing non-believers in a secular social
setting. I knew there was something really different going on and I remembered the last time Milan and I sat
and watched one of the Gaither videos, and how God revealed Himself to us in an
awesome sense of worship. The world
cannot understand that any more than we can understand their enjoyment of drinking
and partying and total disinterest in God and His Son. BUT WE ARE CITIZENS OF
HEAVEN....it's the only way you can explain it - while being in the world, we
are not of it; indeed we live in a totally different dimension. Phil. 3:17-21.
