Heavenly Father - Poem


Heavenly Father

Father omniscient in heaven and earth
   Awakens each breath and beating heart
His word molds mountains and skies above
   While whispers the Spirit divine guidance and love

Wondrous brilliance shines Kolob afar
   Light carries and illuminates each child star
Attentive, personal, individual care
   For each godly embryo journeying here

Righteous, evil, or teetering indecision
   Receive equal rights of agency, not coercion
Salvation, opposition, planned from the start
   Gifting God’s Only Beloved Son’s willing life and heart

Pruning, replanting, finding lost sheep
   Wandering forgotten rescued and received
Ordinance, covenants, power and glory
   Bestowed essential part of family’s final story

Restoration, resurrection, one eternal round
   Salvation, exaltation each generation bound
The last, the first, the many, the one
   The father, the mother, the daughter, the son

Elohim, Abba, Father of heaven and earth     
   All glory, all honor for life’s birth and rebirth
Swell wide the heavens sing praises above
   For Father whose name is spoken with love
