Priceless

Awesome
beyond imagining -
the Sovereign Lord
flung stars
into their places,
creating
order
out of chaos,
majesty
and beauty,
power -
and life!
Yes, life -
even life
in his image,
designed
to know
and love
and trust him.

Tragic
beyond understanding -
we chose
our own way
of autonomy
disconnected
from our source
of life.
We chose
death.

Awesome
beyond imagining -
this same
persistent Lord
with unabated love
sent his own Son
to the rebel race
that had snatched
his Rule,
sent him
to teach,
to heal,
to love...
to be broken
to redeem
those whose sin
had broken him!

Awesome
priceless
unfailing
love!
