my soul is a ray of the Son
light
weightless
rising above all darkness
carried ever closer to the heavens
nothing in this world
nor the underworld
pulls me downward as I ascend
---no longer dust-covered ---
ever-rising
by faith and trust
in Him
whatever is true
whatever is honorable
whatever is just
whatever is pure,
whatever is lovely
whatever is gracious
whatever is excellent
and worthy of praise
whatever is pleasing to my Lord and Savior---
these things will fly me swiftly to Him
He alone is my Rock,
my eyes ever look to Him---
my soul growing ever closer
to His bright and glorious majesty
