Behind

Secular world you have fallen.
Expectations of your glory and pleasure have fallen.

Yet of Him, He has surpassed all expectations.
We hold to Him.
More glory than one might assume.
More glory than one could explain.

Secular world you have displayed your splendor with zeal and fight.
Expressions in various venues and languages.
You present your saga with vigor and noise.
Wishing to capture all.
Your proclamation is a false trumpet.

God, sacredly concealing His beauty and glory.
Only reveals in consecrated time,
and all the glory contained in Him is more than we can contain inside.
Yet, His Spirit resides.
Ever fascinating and enrapturing us.
Destroying the world’s beauty, and we willingly and hastily leave its failure behind.
To commune with Him.

Her

 Church is loud and hidden. Full of praise, unprecedented resilience. She bites an apple, then walks into an eternal city. She rests on Sabbath, then battles ignorance. Strong and faulted, given grace and Jerusalem walls. She hides her beauty while Jesus peers significant.

Unstable

 The clouds are unstable So too are the waves But my faith is stable, solid. Rally and debate is unstable. Fire and Water too. But, God hold us safe.

Reach

 I both reach and retreat. I want you and want nothing to do with you. It is predictable that I both hate and love you. I want you near and must retreat. Like a civil war and trip to Disney Land. You are my contradiction Both push and pull. America, I pledge allegiance and protest you for being immoral.
