The Voice Of The Lord Speaks

The Voice of the Lord Speaks Inspired by Psalm 29 The voice of the Lord speaks: Leviathan plays in the sea, The sons of God shout for joy, Man awakes. The voice of the Lord speaks: Stars make obeisance, Oaks dance like dervishes, Waves clap their hands. The voice of the Lord speaks: The snake crawls on his belly, The cherubim draws his sword, Man dies. The voice of the Lord speaks: Children promised without number, A bush burns, unconsumed, The waters open like gates. The voice of the Lord speaks: His handmaiden sings, An Infant is laid in a manger, God cries. The voice of the Lord speaks: A mother’s heart is pierced, “Father, into Your hands I commend my spirit.” God dies. The voice of the Lord speaks: The strong man is cast down, Angels speak to startled women, Man lives.
