O Gospel Ghostwriter!

O Gospel Ghostwriter!

In the beginning was the Word,

(another name for YOU)

written on the hearts of all your children

but sidelined by abstract thinking and grown-up conflicts.

Then the Word became flesh and dwelt among us,

a light to the human race shining in the darkness

that will never be overcome.

From this fullness all received, grace in place of grace.

Such good news could not be contained!

Synoptic mysteries scribbled on parchment by many

centuries later according to

Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John

an angel, a lion, a bull, an eagle (all winged);

Your Word proclaimed from pulpits and sidewalks

beguiling ordinary minds and

enticing scholars to exegete jots and tittles

in search of what they already possess.

O Hidden Autobiographer Come!

Reveal your ever-evolving Word

made manifest in the simple moments of our lives;

immerse us in your testament of love.
