Before All Things

Before time
before space
when Love loved
in pure joy
Love loved you.
Love loved me.

Within time
within space
when Love loved
He joined us
to learn love
and pure joy.

Beyond time
beyond space
when Love loves
He calls us
to a feast
eternal.

Perpetual light

The shadow falls
down the mountainside
blotting out the light.

A passing cloud 
darkens the world.
Above it, all is bright.

Amid shadow we dwell
beneath the shelter of your wing,
guided by your voice.

Darkness and light
shifting around us,
we make our choice.

Until death comes, 
O great darkness,
enfolding us in night.

Night made into day,
His glorious resurrection,
everlasting light.
