Reason A. Poteet Poet Verse

Light Inaccessible

“Immortal, invisible, God only wise,
in  light inaccessible  hid from our eyes”
quote from the hymn by Walter Smith (1867)


Light Inaccessible …
is wisdom without origin
can be known when faith
breaks the dawn with insight

This Light without space...
is seen without the use of eyes
is felt minus human hands
is heard though one has no ears

Spark that sharpens my light….
shining from the highest height
shining through the longest day
shining beyond my deepest pain

Immortal, invisible, very God and very man…
misunderstood and incomprehensible
is servant-hood, unworldly
for all things good, trustworthy

This Light without time...
Creator, man is made in His image
Redeemer of all surrendered souls
Eternal King coming to rule the Earth

Reason A. Poteet September 7, 2025 at 6:06 PM The "inaccessible" light of the Old Testament was made visible in the coming of Jesus Christ. For God who commanded the light to shine out of darkness (at Creation) hath shined in our hearts to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ. 2 Corinthians 4:6.
