We/He

We, sojourners of season; we, who wither soon, like grass

We, grapple-rs of reason and understanding’s fixed impasse

We, free to choose response where recompense is veiled from sight

We, witness-bearers of mere glimpses of God’s love and might

He, holy, holy, holy, we, the ones He came to save

He, righteousness and redemption and hope beyond the grave

He, tender lovingkindness, forgiveness for sinner’s seed

He, faithful love and mercy to succor man’s deepest need

We, barely able to begin to fathom Father-God

He Creator of earth and heaven; we, flowers of sod

While we guess at His fullness He blesses beyond all ken

For He is God, the One True God and we are only men

…yet for us there is but one God, 

the Father, from whom all things came and for whom we live; 

and there is but one Lord, Jesus Christ, 

through whom all things came 

and through whom we live. 

1 Cor.8:6
