Coming In Glory



Any god can be
     strong
     when strength is
what you have

Any can be
     mighty
     when might is
          in your hand

gods in
     our image
          just
stronger
               mighter

“Grant that we may sit –
one, right
     one, left
     in your glory.”

The request of us all
     who want a god
     in our image.

Only slightly embarrassed
     to hear it has been
     prepared for
          others.

What God can be
     weak
     when weakness is
          all we have?

What can be
     broken
     shamed
     shunned
          when that is
          our story?

There He is
Our God
In His pain-full glory.    
And there
     one, right
     one, left
          those for whom
          it was prepared.
