He gave us free will
and made obedience the key to his kingdom.
Offered unconditional love
with a caveat of repentance
Trust in his plan
is why your prayers go unanswered
Asked that you bear the guilt
for a martyred son he had forsaken
Using our free will
to chase the love of an abandoner
Naming faith an act of love
  in the absence of reciprocity
His act of love, to give us life
robbing worship from our mothers.

This love is the universe reflected in your tears – universal smiles
we’d savour beneath the sheets; you offered a fragment of your
soul, while I surrendered a piece of me. Even in your absence,
you haunt me in my quiet dreams – how do I even try to sleep,
without you lying next to me?

A belief in the silent secrets carried in your breath, lying to me;
an elephant in the room; so hard to forget all the space it takes
thinking about you. My gaze is drawn to you – I am merely a
pencil sketching on your body’s canvas. Filling my mind with
oceans, drowning me in your skin- departing too quickly, I start
to feel so blue.

I loathe to confess just how deeply I worship you. Such a false
goddess; still I find myself resting down these offerings of my
heart, to lift you highly.

Though you are not a deity,
each step that you take here
becomes sacred to me.
Your path leaves trails of light
and my heart bows at your feet.

Can this be how I worship?
Not through song, but word?
Is it still worship?

CLOUDNINE'S PSALM OF GLORIFICATION, TO THY LORD GOD.

O Lord, Thou art exalted in the heavens,  
Thy majesty is beyond the realms of men.  
With awe and reverence, we lift our voices,  
For Thy greatness is unsearchable and vast.

Thou art the Creator of the earth and sky,  
Thy hand hath shaped the mountains high.  
From the depths of the oceans to the starry dome,  
All creation proclaims Thy sovereign throne.

In the stillness of the night, Thy presence is known,  
Thy light guides us as the sun's rays have shown.  
Thy wisdom doth adorn the world in beauty,  
And Thy love doth bestow grace and mercy.

We are humbled by Thy boundless power,  
Thy righteousness and justice are our strong tower.  
Thou, O Lord, art our shield and our guide,  
In Thee, we find refuge, where we confide.

Praise be to Thee, Almighty God on high,  
Forever may we lift our hearts and eyes.  
Thy name be hallowed, Thy glory proclaimed,  
For Thou art eternal, and ever unchained.

Let the heavens declare Thy wondrous deeds,  
And the earth rejoice in all that it needs.  
O Lord, our God, Thou art worthy of praise,  
In every moment, and all our days.
