When God
When God made man, the eternal one
Made the Sabbath a place to meet
The image of his love in time, the sun
And moon to build its walls around his feet.
When God met Israel in a desert place
He bid then build a temple for grace
That he may dwell with them in space
Behind the curtain to veil his face.
When God sent Christ to repair the breach
Between time and space, he was the cup
To pour the race into one soul, his reach
Beyond the mark of sin's howling pup.
In all these things, Yahweh brings me
To worship by candles' dark of faith
And his dripping blood stalks memory
And usher me through a swordless gate.
