His glorious, unlimited resource
is such that as he speaks a world begins
and I’ve been made a messenger with laws
beyond this universe. A power that wins -
in ways that folk who gain internally
the impetus to act and move and live
from just desire of their biology
(don’t know much love, to grieve or to forgive)
will never know, unless they let that love,
(creative and continuous) express
itself through them as it comes “from above”,
because they stand beneath it, and would bless
as much as they are able to, they pray
for others too, that love might give the strength
inside them in their spirit ev’ry day
em-pow-er-ing them so that then at length
the Christ will make his home within your hearts
as you trust him to come, and then to do
it, rooting you in God’s love ’s how it starts
(it doesn’t stop) and it will keep you too.
And may you have the pow’r to understand,
as all God’s people should, how wide, how long,
how high, and deep is this great love expand-
ing more than this whole Universe in song.
May you ex-per-i-ence the love of Christ,
though it’s too great to fully understand.
Then you’ll be made complete & fully spliced
into the life and power that God has planned…
Notes:
¹⁶I pray that from his glorious, unlimited resources he will empower you with inner strength through his Spirit. ¹⁷Then Christ will make his home in your hearts as you trust in him. Your roots will grow down into God’s love and keep you strong. ¹⁸And may you have the power to understand, as all God’s people should, how wide, how long, how high, and how deep his love is. ¹⁹May you experience the love of Christ, though it is too great to understand fully. Then you will be made complete with all the fullness of life and power that comes from God.
