XX. GOD'S GOSPEL
This day, one year ago, God preached his Gospel to me
And sent his spirit of flame with fiery shaft that through me
All on a sudden sped:
This day, one year ago, God woke old dreams of wonder
And brake long ages' chains with sudden stroke asunder
And raised Love's Christlike pale form from the dead.
And sent his spirit of flame with fiery shaft that through me
All on a sudden sped:
This day, one year ago, God woke old dreams of wonder
And brake long ages' chains with sudden stroke asunder
And raised Love's Christlike pale form from the dead.
This day, one year ago, God sent his servant passion
To recreate the world in golden gracious fashion
And renovate the skies.
This day, one year ago, not needing marble “table”
Nor priest nor prophet grim, nor help of myth nor fable,
God preached his Gospel through a woman's eyes.
To recreate the world in golden gracious fashion
And renovate the skies.
This day, one year ago, not needing marble “table”
Nor priest nor prophet grim, nor help of myth nor fable,
God preached his Gospel through a woman's eyes.
