To Bring Us Home

How great
the human folly
that imagines
the accident
of human
identity
and autonomy!

And with the claim
that we can make it
alone
unaided,
human life
and society
falls apart
all around us.

There is a God!
He is Creator -
all nature shouts it!
He tells us
his name is Love!
He comes
in person,
empty of glory,
full of love.
He comes
to live,
to teach,
to give.

We thought
to do with him
as we will.
He came
to give his all
to bring us
home.
