Analysis of Don’t Miss the Kiss
The pictures that You let me see
Are nothing compared to the real thing
The glimpses I see through the trees
Are just shadows of Your coming
When every knee shall bow
And every tongue proclaims: Jesus reigns!
And there I’ll be with You my Lord;
In your sweet arms again!
Beware of many commentators;
Their words are not the Scripture.
If you have trouble seeing,
Ask the One who drew the picture.
He did not draw it in a way,
So that He could confuse you.
Just crawl up there upon His lap;
Because He won’t abuse you.
Then ask Him plainly. Lord what was
Your meaning when You said this?
And He will share it with you
In His love and with a sweet kiss.
In my bare feet, staring into Your fire,
That’s where I want to be.
The sound of Your voice drowning out
Every liar so I can finally see.
Commentators are not prophets;
So, examine every word!
Then test the spirit with the First;
The Second and the Third!
