He opened up the skies

and mercy fell to earth

in silver-lines

the rains of sacrificial grace.

–

And here we stand immersed

in water sparks of love

grieving that

the rains put out our sacrifice.

–

We see the pluming smoke–

our idols unappeased–

as Father bends

and opens up His arms to us.

–

Send oh, Heavenly Armorer,

the arrows from your store

wash inside

and gild our hearts to love your reign
