Silent mystery past
Eon space You cast
Not location bound
In no place unfound
You are
You need not plan, design nor learn
No thought “occurs” to You
You cannot grow
You cannot risk in hope
You know
No sequence in Your view
No duration
No queue
When and Then eternal Now to You
“I AM”
No small detail escapes Your eyes
No grand scope too wand
You created shape and size
You are within beyond
You pervade
Time and space beneath You
My Measureless Mighty One
Majestic rule Your rightful due
Your choice such painful stun
You reign
From deep within expression flows
Your Mind and Heart and Will it shows
Vast breathed creation splendor
Vast inscribed Word wonder
You speak
No strength defined, no taxing You
No weary strain is found
Your purpose done without a sound
Seen only by so few
You work
You kindly govern earthen lands
Though we lightly grieve You
Hate Your sacred precious Name
Mar Your outstretched Hands
You care
What patience for rash fools
So deep to error prone!
Who mock with head and heart disdain
What they have never known!
You teach
What other Lover
would call and plead
long after purity is defiled
and deaf ears have turned away?
You love
Blind idol fawning chants
Cold self worship in our dark
We fashion a god like ourselves
Shielding Your warm radiance
You weep
You who find the stars impure!
Oh! What grief You must endure!
As we strut in Your presence
and sin!
You suffer
To save us You descend
Yet by us You are ravaged
Your high and holy Heart
made bitter sin full vial
You die
Blending Justice and Mercy
Holiness and Compassion
Purity and Toleration
You conquer Death
You live
With open loving arms You plead
Your table spread
Your own blood shed
No one comes
You select
Rebels drawn of will beyond
So few poor hearts do finally turn
To rest unfettered in Your arms
Elect to feast and love
You conceive
Great mystery of godliness!
Spirit wrestles flesh within
Slowly purging, renewing
Self dying to divine Life
You nourish
In what depthless cross design…
does vicious hateful enemy…
stride permitted through Your door…
to rape and maul Your loved one?
You yield
…. then ….
Shatt’ring fury unfurls
in breathless deaf’ning rage
ripping time and space
to shreds
You come
Quivering filthy defying fools
still hate You
curse You
fight You
You conquer
With blood soaked feet and hands
Your steaming hate at last unveiled
You stride and tread the dregs
of squirming hateful remnants
You crush
Earth and heaven flee Your Face
Yet both are caught and smashed
Mercy now extinct
Consuming terrors blast
You judge
Your fire-capsuled hate
Has Death’s eternal scream
Blackness bound
Forever at Your Feet
You triumph
One Lover throngs
Your Bridegroom songs
Our passion is strong
One we be long
You wed
Revelation 13:7
