High above the troubled void God’s Spirit brooded
And peered into the sackcloth waters
Intently watching there to catch his own sublime reflection
Looking for a form, a regal face so very deeply
Ordered with the pattern of  the ages
Underneath an endless Heaven filled with sacred song.
Reverberating toward the churning chaos
Came his holy living word, at last
Realigning, touching, vivifying.
Everything was changed, transformed and made
And purpose in his sweetest light was found.
Tell the Mighty deeds of our Creator
Our redeemer who can make all things anew
Raising us in Christ to realms of Everlasting Life.

enlightening and powerful! Beautiful acrostic.

A friend hears the song in my heart, and sings it to me when my memory fails.

Stephanos,

Good job on the acrostic with a great message attached.   It amazes me each time I think about God speaking all that is into existance from the void that once existed.  When I consider that we are created in the image of God, how powerful must our words be as well.  With Faith, I believe that We Can move mountains with our words......

Happy Easter.     Bob <><

I really enjoy acrostic poems.  They can be a real challenge to write... You did a beautiful job.
Nicely done
