Almighty God
No time is without you
And all time is within you
Only beginnings and endings mark your will
Like motion and rest, tides that rise and fall
All this pleases you, all is of your love
The measure of your love is your holiness
An authority that is what gives light and shadow
The height and depth, the length and width
Holiness manifested glorifying you by it
How the day and the night work together
The cycles of the physical, patterns abided by
How the life given and taken remain whole
You are complete yet you are always more
You remain unseen by creation
How can a stone know the mountain
How can a water droplet comprehend an ocean
Yet loving acts sing of you, like a voice in a chorus
We exist in a time you describe
So vast our choices are only ripples on a lake
You gifted us your Authority and Spirit
Us, of the dirt, the rust, and the generated
It seems you want us to know you to love you
You do not need us, we need you
We are empty vessels, empty and content
So you grant us thirst, and offer overflowing drink
We are a part of you in your image
Your fullness and we in part
We are able to choose, and able to deny ourselves
We are able to love and be thankful for it
We are able to listen, to seek guidance
Our part hints at your fullness
Father
Almighty God
Only love could create
You are love
