Within you
Within you
God told Moses: "I will walk with you"!
As He said before to Abraham:
"Ill walk with you, - man just and true,
I'll walk with you that IS -" I AM".
But then came Archangel Gabriel,
Who spoke differently to the maid:
" Within" you He'll send Emanuel,
"Within" you, dear maid, - be not afraid..
Lo! - the Lord does seek to dwell "within",
Walk along side He deemed not enough,
For the One who busts what might have been
To "accomplished" and then died in love.
"Within" He takes corporeity,
Takes on human form and countenance.
This unfathomable deity
That sees eons in one single glance.
Rosy is the baby, sweet its smile,
The redeemer savior of the world,
Wishing men with God to reconcile.
Has in Mary's womb a finger curled.
"Within" her not only walking with,
Grows the babe, the only one begot,
And "within" the maid received the kiss
Of all-powerful and eternal God.
"Within you" Messiah prince must grow,
It's "within"- not only walking with,-
Dwells the one to whom the seraphs bow,
Overwhelmed by beautious Adonis.
Fear not ! but permit Him to grow up
Who will take away the stains of sin,
Him who fills to overflow the cup,
But do fill it He must dwell " within".
Stunned in awe musician poet bard
From whose "within" hyms and paeans spring,
Glory's Throne does have a human heart !
Glory, glory to the new born king.
If He is not born in you again
As your lover prince - thus speaks the bard*
To set up His tent and take your heart
Then He went to Betlehem invain.
*Angelus Silesius - mystic poet
