Hound of Heaven Hymns

Poetry list

crucifixus

we live and die
in real time unfolding
unhasting uncontrolled
and within it
is the mystery of
past and present
one known albeit
partially the other
unknown there
is no certainty in
real time save
love who lives in
every moment and
and in mystery
incarnate truth
eternal life
speaking last words
in real and every
time it is finished
calvary embraces
every death
ever
golgotha every
bone testifying
to the strength
and structures
borne away by
time
love’s Friday death
invades every
joy and breath
to bring the
meaning that
endures beyond
our finite
reach
and places it
in our hearts
to change
each day
and challenge
every power
the powers that
betrayed and
scorned flogged
and taunted
spat and
hammered
pierced and
denied in
real time in
every age
the bullies and
abusers the
tyrants and
the torturers
we are found
in every play
ground and
onward scourging
love’s faith and
hope to the
end of time
the Lamb is
slain to rise
in real time
disclosing the
mystery of
death’s power
that merely veils
the glory of
eternity’s dawn
this is the cross
road we must
choose and
walk
