Trinity
Yes you are ‘we’
to make us like you three
Within myself tripartite
Within you, one community
We worship one
creator, saviour, paraclete
We bow as one
as many come with one in three to meet
You spoke, we are
The word, we hear
The breath, alive we feel you near
To you we pray
By you we stand
In you our words are newly framed
A man, a God, a moving flame
One, the Lord is one
The name of names
I am, and in our image we make men
Male and female made he them
While countless forms of life display
more facets of the infinite,
the artist known in all he made
My God, above, within
In all my friends
A wind of presence
Word of grace
The arms beneath
The judge we fear
The lamb we love and feed on here
The deathless priest
The oil of peace
Threefold heart beyond our ken
The start, the path, the zeal and end
All other gods are paper demons
If you’d been evil
or other than you are
(where from, but always self-existent,
why so, but it could not have been other, no)
I can not bear to think
But you are love and love and love and light
and trinity
Doing all things right
So I worship in spirit,
You are beyond us, beyond me
But in this in love we agree
