Allah is great! - is great! - says the Koran,-
But does not know him as a little tot -
Nor as toiling tender loving man
That sorrowing our puny planet trod..
Allah is great!- is great! - says the Koran;-
But wounded healer savior it has not.
It knows no Friday grim and Golgothan
No man of sorrows as the Lord and God.
A suffering God - who can have sympathy,-
Passed like His creatures through this vale of tears,-
Who loved so much, He died upon a tree,
Whose loving heart was opened by a spear.
Allah is great! -on many a page we read,
He sees our planet spin from lofty a throne,
But did not bleed, nor wash disciples feet,
And knows no heart ache and no weary bone.
Allah is great! is great!- says the Koran-
But so disturbing human history,-
He who immersed Himself must bridge its span,
And hold its records and its summary.
