Prepare to Marvel

Dedicated to Dr. Bruce Ware, who taught me how to marvel at my God! If you ever read this, Dr. Ware, I would ~~enjoy~~ love a comment!!

Prepare to marvel at thy God--
Though He's above, He cometh down.
Prepare to wonder at thy God--
Though He's High King, you wear a crown.

Which of your treasures did you not
Receive from Abba's own right hand?
Which transient blessing did you not
Perceive would change from gold to sand?

Prepare to marvel at thy God--
For He exists eternally.
Prepare to marvel at thy God--
For He redeems supernally.

Who's there among you equal to
Behold all His magnificence?
Who's there among you able to
Take hold of His ambivalence?

Prepare to marvel at thy God!

-finis-

Original composition, November and December 2007.

I love this poem! I think it is my favorite of everything I've read so far. You should definitely set it to music.

I hope you are having a wonderful advent season so far. I wonder if your weather is about to get crazy (or has already)?

You definitely have a gift for writing. Just curious are you a student at Boyce or Southern Sem.? We live in the area and my husband attended awhile. You can contact if you would like or check out our blog. By the way, my DH loved his classes w/ Dr Ware!
