Holy thunder of very gentle disposition,
I stand, a happy moral outcast,
Known & loved at my core,
saved by the meek lamb from Nazareth,
As a lonely sojourner he’s carried my yoke,
Relieving me of the wrath of the prudish gods,
He is a special God, a lovely one
Quietly reigning over coherent minions...
Worthy is this carpenter,
who rummaged through the
debris of earnest churchmen & beautiful virgins,
Loving them in their hidden unloveliness,
He is the one,
Worthy of my expedition here on earth,
He is the one worth knowing, through scripture, prayer & song.
He is the one worth finding,
He quiets the longing in my heart,
& cleans out the germs of my soul’s unrest.
I stand a happy outcast with many many sins,
adorned graciously by a heavy cross & a Loving God.
...this is amazing grace.
thank you.
