On Your Stone I Will Stand
On Your stone I will stand, where the strangling swell
and the bellows of care break upon Your good word -
raised to life by Your death, by Your scorning of Hell,
having stood, made to stand by the worth of the Lord.
and the bellows of care break upon Your good word -
raised to life by Your death, by Your scorning of Hell,
having stood, made to stand by the worth of the Lord.
On Your law I will dwell lest, mendacious, my urge
should prove ignorant, unto my loss, of Your good
ere Your grace in the mien of my will should emerge
to redeem what I do, transmutate what I would.
should prove ignorant, unto my loss, of Your good
ere Your grace in the mien of my will should emerge
to redeem what I do, transmutate what I would.
On Your Son I will gaze, though the umbrage of night
fills my sight with distractions, illusions of dread.
Yet the shade must dissolve, touched by fulminant light
dove-descending, reflecting unveiled from my head.
On Your mount I will reign, where no Baal has been raised,
in the Name of the Firstborn enthroned; and my rod
shall point nations and kings to the dwelling of praise
where the merciful Christ sits as sovereign and God.
