and broken wretch. Let the skies be opened, where doves
descend, and glory permeates. We come to partake, eager for
knowledge, radiating Christ. It was never our love, prior to
Love, but ever a gift: so withdraw not, my Lord. Let the gates
be opened, that angels may soar, from soul to earth; for the
kingdom is firm within, so come, make a place for us. We’ve

our names unknown? What have You fashioned, Lord, ever to
forgive, else we perish Your crucible. If not for the Lord, death
would have swallowed us up. It was earth, covered in darkness,
and then there was light. It’s more than miracle, my Lord, a
fulgent beam, permeating gridlocks.
