Why are nations in an uproar?
Why do we mutter empty threats?
Why do kings of earth rise up revolt,
and our princes plot for death,
LORD, against you? Christ, against you?
“Let us break God’s yoke,” they say;
“let us free us from Love’s burden.”
God, you laugh, but so we pray.
God of laughter, God of heaven,
God of wrath and God of rage,
When we prey on your removal,
Terror rips a gospel page
From a crown of thorns on Calvary,
While our faithfulness withdrew
You yet judge for us to witness:
“I Am God With Us with you.”
Like a cool caress of Jordan,
You insist, “You are my child;
On this day I have begotten you.”
Water breaking in the wild.
“Ask of me and I will give it—
You can claim complete control, but
What you lust for, can you live it?
Can you keep creation whole?”
Are we wiser now than God is?
Is Love warning us somehow,
As we box our God in history,
We’d do well to hush and bow
And respect that happy mystery
Who transfigures all of this,
Anger burned in blazing glory
For our metamorphosis.
