fire from heaven
spreading before Jesus
when he walked with men.
imagine
the clouds around him,
darkness shielding us from him.
imagine lightning.
imagine mountains melting.
imagine the ocean unmoving.
that is a Jesus
who would have rejected humility,
who would have come in righteous glory,
and every nation
would have fallen
in despair—
and while he will come like that someday,
he came as person,
as approachable as he could in those days,
so someday,
when he comes in terrifying glory,
we can rejoice
in the the king who sacrificed
himself for our pardon,
who delivered us from
circumstance
and consequence,
so give thanks to his holy name.
