Cantate Domino (Poem)
Christ made the dirge of death to fail. / No more shall wail / The choristry / Of saints, for we shall be / The fugal echoes of our Lord.
Commentary on George Herbert’s “Holy Baptism (1)”
What ever future sinnes should me miscall, / Your first acquaintance might discredit all.
O Christ, My God, Receive My Praises (Hymn)
All that in this sad world has chained me / Is Yours to cast into the sea; / The pardon that Your blood has gained me / From Pharaoh’s bondage sets me free
Longing for Family
I know Your beauty’s day, Lord, soon will come;Until then, bring my family safely home.
Commentary on William Blake’s “The Clod and the Pebble”
Love must be learned from the innocent and spotless Lamb of God, through the pages of Holy Writ. If we base our love upon experience, we will inevitably end up hardened, selfish, and alone.
Atonement
And I, with unclean lips, cried, “Woe to me!”As Jesus bled and did atonement make.
