In the Beginning, not in time or space,
But in the quick before both space and time,
In Life, in Love, in co-inherent Grace,
In three in one and one in three, in rhyme, In music, in the whole creation story,
In His own image, His imagination,
The Triune Poet makes us for His glory, And makes us each the other’s inspiration. He calls
us out of darkness, chaos, chance, To improvise a music of our own,
To sing the chord that calls us to the dance, Three notes resounding from a single tone, To
sing the End in whom we all begin;
Our God beyond, beside us and within.
