"...and the man and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the Lord God..."

Genesis 3:8 

“And they heard the sound of the Lord God walking in the garden in the cool of the day, and the man and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the Lord God among the trees of the garden.”

forsaking the hiding places

©2-17-15 hannah mclean

sin revealed to us

a world of hiding places

we crawl into them

and cover ourselves

from Your presence

we curl up in them

to block out 

the sound of Your voice

oh, to be unafraid--

to be unashamed--

to look into Your face!

Lord, take away

my hiding places

let me walk in the light 

of Your presence

let me not balk at

the sound of Your voice

or shrink back from

Your call

i want to forsake

the places i would hide

and all that would

drive me there

that i could stand

revealed

in the revelation

of You
