A Tributary
TRIBUTARY according to Merriam-Webster:
1 : a stream feeding a larger stream or a lake
2 : a ruler or state that pays tribute to a conqueror
Revival under the big tent,
a paradigm of revelation,
a simple message:
death’s but an open eye for life.
A candlelight service
that goes on and on with friends,
new ones made unto the great by and by.
Burning bright ever bright!
Billy Graham sees God’s work
that was placed in his hands
for a very long season, in mortal years.
Many young now learn his name.
Who now shall race the eternal flame?
God looks upon earth
for a willing soul —
a jewel in the making,
to toil in this tattered tapestry,
spurring on its loveliness.
Billy Graham must be eulogized,
but not for his name’s sake,
but for the kingdom to come —
the one of His Father.
Ears open wide for a snuff?
Or will the ears of your heart ring
in anticipation, remain
in the open arms of love?

John 3:16 NIV — For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life.
