An Imperfect Life

The Power of Jesus’ Love

 

If the cross of Jesus is the fulcrum

the balance point of galaxies and stars;

makes stable both Andromeda and Mars

embraces all things in a single sum,

it would explain the order of the sky

the bonding, holding, in the universe;

as marriage-like, for better or for worse,

one infinite, a Thou and God the I.

Could a Love as great as Jesus’ cross

Hold all creation in its caring hand?

Bring into being each star, each grain of sand?

In constant equilibrium, no loss?

Why the celestial dance, why, creation sings?

Tis the power of Jesus’ love expressed in things.
