Be Still and Know
When He was in the garden
sweating blood was I one drip on
His brow or was I the cause?
the cause of all misery
when he was condemned or
was it just hate?
just hate undermining
all His works or
was it His plan?
His plan to save us
Save us from ourselves
by taking the burden?
the burden of the fall
Adam had caused
lingers here now?
here now should we praise Him
by loving our neighbor
and not condemn
not condemn our neighbor
or go against love
so be still and know …
