General (Vol. 1)

The Spiral

  1. Love will prevail
    Against indifference and the pride of stature;
    Though we may fail
    We will return in penitence to rapture:
    We live at once in ugly mire
    And in the Holy Spirit's cleansing fire.

  2. Our twisted road
    Is nothing to Our Saviour's Crucifixion;
    Our heavy load
    Unites our sadness with Our Lord's affliction:
    Our lifelong quest is to refine;
    How we, like Him, are human yet divine.

  3. Christ's Church has brought
    Our sense of corporate Grace and strength of mission,
    Though it is fraught
    With unremitting error and contrition:
    Here, though the Spirit ranges wide,
    We feel his glowing presence at our side.

  4. The Father's mind
    Has made, unique to us, this wondrous spiral
    Of humankind
    In god And God in man, loss and revival:
    To Him all Praise who, with The Son,
    Brought forth the Holy Spirit, three in one.
