General (Vol. 2)
Forever and Sublime
- Time is the human construct that obscures Your love of man;
It measures smaller than we see the passage of life's span;
It makes us sequence causally along a single line
When Eden and Gethsemane took place in Your own time. - These simultaneous acts of love, of being all in all,
Must be recounted in a tale beginning at 'The Fall'
And ending with the gaping tomb, a narrative of hope
Designed within Your Testaments to help us share and cope. - Thus, we give thanks for Your True Word set down by partial men
That we may give it life beyond the parchment and the pen;
But, more than this, we must surpass the metaphor of time
To see Your love in all its power, forever and sublime.
