All Life is Born From You
-- Promise House, Coventry, 2000
Origin
- First cause
- before You none
- Force majeure
- unbegun
- Spark to blaze
- and waves cascade
- torrents roar
- the atoms form
- all life is born
- from You
- We rearrange the lines You draw
- expend the flame
- distort the thought
- our chief endeavours come to nought
- until perhaps, because You brought us here
- we pause
- listen, look to our source
- Spark to light
- of pure insight
- One word put to flight
- our libraries of blindness
- One impulse
- moves the door
- One Lord
Taken from "A City To Dwell In" - a collection of poems from the Jesus Fellowship, available online from the Shop.
