Oh God

Oh God, Mother and Father of the universe
From that first explosion when the energy of life burst forth from You
Your essence
Your Spirit of Love
Could not be contained
The immensity of your ever evolving creative force
Overwhelms me in its grand design
Leaving me awe-stricken
The wonder of it brings me to my knees
Breathless
The freedom unleashed terrifying me in its formlessness

Then ever beyond my comprehension
You gave of yourself completely
You the Holy of Holies
Majesty above all thrones
One without limit or definition
You graced creation with the greatest gift of all
Choosing to become one with us
How could this be
Why
Bringing with You original grace
And
Love Love Love

You Oh God became a sign of contradiction to the world
Power cast aside
No treasures to make easier your path
Born to parents of humble…
