Easter's Coming

Just decided to drop back and look around.These are the days we had no trouble forgetting when we journeyed through time just getting to July.I'm not a skier and I only like snow men when I'm looking at them through thermo-pane glass, so July looks close to impossible. But hey! that's Winter for you. Then there's Easter ... 'not as important to some as it is to others, but hey! that's heaven.
Anyway, here's an Easter offering.

WONDER

The wonder of it all!
The wonder that we live and breath
Of all the worlds upon which his grace abides
This rock; the third one from the sun is where we had begun
Yet when every story's told - tumbled and blended into burnshed gold
And when time has taken wings and the heavens ripped and rolled
We'll see the bones of mighty mountain sides
(With timelessness comes death)
The wonder of it all!

The wonder of the Lord
He blesses out of Love
Our only chance of conference came
When he shed his robes to be shod as us
He'd felt the rain his words had commended to the skies when he divested crowns of wisdom for the prize
Alone and unadorned, more than great and yet ignored- God the Father blocked the sun
It was a Hollywood beyond imaginings of pain
And the tears fell from above
The wonder of the Lord.
The marvel of His Love.
