To the one who is worthy of praise.
In Your kingdom
no one is more mature than a child,
or more profound than a carpenter,
or bolder than a lamb,
or freer than a slave.
In Your kingdom,
fools tutor the wise,
the weak lead the strong,
death is swallowed by life,
and love tastes like pain.
If I could wrap my mind around You
then I know You would most certainly
be too small to wrap new life
around me.
Here in Your kingdom,
I find a frail and innocent terror,
a stunning and time-washed grace.
