Member Poem

God,
He is the before beginning but also the after end
Seemingly an endless stream of being
That was and is and is to come forever and ever
He is the creator, yet he was never created
Constructing large galaxies and small molecules
Simple blades of grass and intricate sun rays
All pointing to and providing evidence for His existence
He is Lord but also Servant
Ruling on His heavenly throne
Who stepped down
to serve His way into our heart’s
Proving that love is indeed an action
He is perfect yet delights in the imperfect
Choosing to see the person behind the mistakes and sins
Willing to instantly forgive and forget,
everything
So that His children may delight in His freedom
He is the Lion but also the Lamb
Fierce enough to conquer any enemy that ever existed
yet attained His greatest victory by being silent as a lamb
Not even holding back His own life
He provided the Way
He is God and also Man
A mystery too great to understand
A depth that none can fathom
When God became man
But never ceasing to be what He had always been.
He is the Healer but also the Wound giver
At least it seems that way when you’re walking through your past
And all you feel is Him stitch, inch by inch, the gaping wounds of your soul

This is our God, this is our King
Who is clothed in majesty! Who painted our skies and gave us our lullabies
He is the perfect song, the sweetest melody
The perfect balance of everything
Though we cannot see Him always so clearly
We know He loves us dearly
That what isn’t figured out here we have all of eternity
How often do we allow our theology to become our God
Instead of just letting it be open perspective we lay it down as a closed commandment
And what we so often do not understand is that it does not matter to God so much
What we think or what we do
So be still and know God is who He is
That’s it.
