Time Telling Time as Only Time Can Tell

From Winning the War Within: Collected Sonnets

Stephen C. Rose
Time telling time as only time can tell
Tells nothing if the story goes untold
Our little lections mute a freedom bell
That sounds inside us when Abba takes hold
The simple actions that the word demands
Are foreign to our robes our clocks our ways
Would you believe we all have healing hands
Ah sweetest freedom stay with me always
I knew it then then lost it now it's back
Abba within my friend my love my good
I am in heaven nothing do I lack
I can live free from judging as I should
I long ago sent lections to their fates
And now my time is what Abba creates

"Time telling time as only time can tell." He is Jesus. Lections are lectionaries. Robes are priestly. Free from judging. That is Abba's Way.
