We Are Love
Absolute by absolute is given
Mystery curtained by a spiral heaven
And we mere dancers by the music driven
Know not what in the debt forgiven
Love begot love in its wholesome image
Not in content but the substance of knowledge
We worship the passion of the savage
Denying truth through the carnal carnage
Love is God, and love is of God, children
Man is of God, and God in all men
We are love, not feelings like the heathen
We are more than mortal memory ken.
Angels sang in heaven when he made us
Pictures of himself from his sacred dust
Then bequeathed us dominions affirmed by trust
Placed us in time to temper us
All that is seen is from the unseen made
God's love bruised, battered, reduced, afraid
Is a mental picture sin's illusion persuade
Love is restored triumphant by love obeyed.
