Every word we could ever write
is a dull light before Your entirety,
and every thought we could ever form
will become less than a blink in Your eternity.
You are more than alpha and omega
outside of what we distinguish as beginning and end
You are holier than our perceptions of holy
eclipsing our values, Your purity transcends.
You are brighter than our definitions of glorious
Your beauty burns brighter than the sun
The abundance of Your splendour would blind us
To fully gaze upon it would render us undone.
And You exceed our expectation of incarnation
The enfleshment of immensity that reaches
With arms spread open wide
Out to the furthest niches.
You are Inexpressible
You are 'I am that I am'
And we are just stones before Your ocean
who will never wholly understand.
And yet…
You invite us to explore You,
To know You through the limitations of our humanity
You allow us into Your presence
As if we could even stand it's completeness.
And You cover our frailty with your love,
You smother our weakness with your strength
You accept us as we are
Not as a pitying deity,
but with the heart of a father.
