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.
