ALTARS

Earth has no pretensions;
We have access through a Man
found in Adam’s figure,
perfect in that condition.

Stone is permanence:
A Man out of death
beyond the power of man -
and let none attempt to inflict
human improvements.

But for an altar in God’s tabernacle
God requires wood -
Acacia wood: Man
Sustaining.

Copper endures the heat,
While the acacia wood -
Man in the place of judgement -
Sustains the judgement.

Gold displays the fulness
While the acacia wood -
Man in the place of glory -
Sustains the glory.
