An open letter to

 


God's new governors (in Ephesus)




Ambassador of Christ by will of God,

to faithful holy saints in Christ Jesus,

blessed be the God & Father of our Lord

who's Jesus Christ the one who blesses us


with every blessing spiritual that's come

through heavenly realms, from Christ himself as he

chose us to be in him before there's some

foundations laid for this world; so we'd be


before him, blameless, and holy, in love;

and destined for adoption as his sons

through Jesus Christ by will of who's above

according to the pleasure of that one,


to praise the glory of that gracious flood

so freely given us in the be-lov'd

in whom we have redemption through his blood

- forgiveness of our debts (not pushed or shoved);


in line with all the riches of his grace

that's lavished us with wisdom, insight, and

the knowledge of the mystery of (that face

that's brighter than the sun upon the sand) -


God's will, in line with pleasure focused on

him who brings on the fullness of all times,

to bring together all things in this one,

so everything in Heaven & Earth rhymes


in the anointed, we've inheritance;

appointed, destined, by the purposes

of him who works his counsel into us

who trusted Christ and praise his glor-ious-ness! …
