Blessed Be Thy Name

Nova Journell 2007 (Baltimore)

Free verse
Blessed be thy name
Uttered with grace and glory
Shall I compare thee to the Lord
Heavenly with his almighty light

One must wonder
How Christ forgave a man such as Judas
One heard across the river
Christ's pain
Silent screaming
An everlasting tune

Blessed be thy name
Hunger betrays me
A longing for certainty
Can I be truly faithful
The air I breathe
Invisible yet freeing
Would it be the same
Worshipping
A vengeful God
I'd much rather
Remember horrid history
Than give in to a narcissist
God could never be more than life is

Blessed be thy name
Amen
