When Revolution Comes from God

"This is a message of life and love that strikes squarely against all stifling traditions based on race, language, economic or political standing, educational rank, or cultural background . . . "  Howard W. Hunter.


When revolution comes from God it does not spread bloodshed,
but quietly and joyously old doctrines it will shred.
Scales from eyes and chains from hearts are cast aside at last,
and slaves and masters, rich and poor, will look beyond their past.
The tyrants of the mind and icons of our culture wars
are seen as nothing more than dupes and tantalizing bores.
In fellowship our hearts expand as to gods we may mature,
leaving off our prattling and love of things obscure.
Yes, I declare a mutiny against my sin and vice
that keep me from the light and love of Christ's own sacrifice.
