In You Oh Lord Poem by Phillip Nine Mafunga

Beauty written in gold
On the rolling stormy clouds
Lightning and thundering love
Down the generations of man
Even as you hugged the despicable tree at Calvary
From your veins rained life unending

In you, oh Lord dwells love in its fullness
Songs of saints that sweeten the vast by day
As mountains dance and thunder the night away
Darkness recedes as trees whisper your name at dawn
And birds of the air merrily
Ride the storms of the open morning skies

In you, oh Lord is the resurrection of mortals
Even the cross buckled under the weight of your majestic love
And the grave failed to retain you for a day longer
Come, Lord, your bride is ready
And the judgment seat is set
For only in You, oh Lord is the salvation of mankind!
