Our Witness

In your sacred image I see

An artist seeking to show divinity

It fails at it's work

For though a pictures worth a thousand words

Can all the words of every language

Do anything but fall short

To portray one single aspect of His majesty

All our words fail, pictures show but poorly,

What have we to give as witness?

One thing are we given of Him

We may love and in our love

Show one small portion of who He is

We may love till the world's end

In our weak love, witnessing to His

The divine love who is and ever is

That ever present, Is, until eternity

Our efforts here once more fall short

For who has perfect love as His

Who can be as He who Is Love

Love incarnate loved that we might love

With this life we witness to His

A wordless praise of His eternal glory

To love as He loves, our constant aspiration

Let us love and evermore love

Until all we are and think and are is love

Seeking perfect imitation of He who Is Love
