GARMENT

Day by day His actions

Wove one seamless garment -

You could not unpick

One shade from another.

Perhaps you could distinguish

Colours of grace, shades of love,

Textures of righteousness - yet never

Unseam mercy from judgment.

But who was weaving?

Each movement in manhood

Consonant with who He is

Was under the Father’s direction -

Woven from the top.
