His body shimmering
with resplendent light
blazing in beauty
alive with fire, bright
the Spirit within
upon our lives
Christ coming again
not as a humble infant
triumphant, returning
the Lord in final judgment
in a blaze of Glory
fire from the clouds
come to judge the nations
to bring us home to God
