The Audacity of God

In the Book of Genesis, the Creator existed in a void Miracle after miracle, a heavenly drama of intrigue Choosing to create flesh rather than an android On the seventh day, He did not rest out of fatigue Declaring that He would create humanity in His image With tender hands, God shaped the clay to create him The heavens marveled at the execution of his lineage As wings shielded the eyes of Seraphim and Cherubim Adam disobeyed, and he experienced a spiritual decline The Father heard and responded to the man's groan The Living Word made flesh in the guise of the Divine Witnessed the holy birth of a prodigy in a shed alone What of our souls if the Redeemer had not come A holy envoy was sent to avert a crushing disaster What audacity that he loved us and sent His Son! This season is to recall an end to a reign of terror The infinite Creator oversees an ordained mission Satanic spirits stayed silent, too impotent to interfere At his crucifixion, they recalled his prophetic vision Even unto death, his face retained a glorious veneer
