Undefeatable Kingdom
Beyond
a great ocean
an unknowable barrier
separates me
from a place
beyond magic
beyond fantasy
a place that defines both
yet
is bound by neither
The West,
Narnia,
Aslan’s Country,
Eden,
Heaven,
“the source”,
You came from a place
beyond places
a place
outside of time
and space
to save me
from a place
I feel
I got far too close to
to begin with
so that I can inherit
your
Undefeatable Kingdom
I get to follow
the Grandest of
Grandmasters
learning
from the master
of Masters
The master of all things
knowable
and unknowable
fathomable
and unfathomable
what’s that old hymn?
“How Great Thou Art”
somehow
doesn’t cover it
You will let me live
in this indescribable kingdom
You want me to live there
with you
words are lost
they
“run for cover”
knowing they are unable to explain
what your actions
your love
does
and means
to me
B.E. Noll
To the ruler of Undefeatable Kingdom
How great
are you God
can’t help but sing of
how great
you are God…
…let heaven & nature sing
with us
of how great
how great
you are God
how great
are you God
we don’t really know
how great
you are God
we paint,
write,
play,
carve,
photograph,
and sing,
of how great
how great
you are God…
“…peace on Earth
good will
to men
from heaven’s
all gracious King…”
8 days till we celebrate your birthday Jesu...
please give safe travel mercies to Maria, on her journey home to us.
And please have very little snow between here & the airport on Tues.
thanks for helping her to come home to us. Never thought I'd ask you for little to no snow. help me sleep good, let Mick feel better before she gets here.
Love you,
B

The how great are you God is borrowed, more than a little from Chris Tomlin's "How great is our God".
Thanks Mr. Tomlin, I love that song
and wrote the rough draft of these "lyrics" on a Sun. morning as we sang that in worship.
