God Coming Out

Blessed are You,
Lord our God,
King of the Universe,
for coming out, in ministry
at the age of 33,
knowing full well you’d be
not the man they wanted to see,
indeed, they grieved
and seethed,
could not accept your offer to be free.

Blessed are You
for revealing
truth, and healing,
teaching them that kneeling
is not the same as feeling,
they found your love appealing
but your words left them reeling,
they steeled against the sealing
you promised.

Blessed are You,
Lord our God,
King of the Universe,
you came out of the womb,
made the world your classroom,
told them: watch the flowers bloom,
you wove love upon your loom,
promised yourself to us as groom,
led the way out of the tomb,
boom! He’s out!
