| Holy is a flame...
At once like a campfire
that draws you ever
near with
the promise of a crackling warmth,
And a roaring furnace
that warns to keep
a distance,
lest you be so fiercely consumed.
Holy, Holy, Holy is God¹²
who created us to
be with Him
to have breakfast forever on a beach,³
And yet because of sin
our fishing nets
will stay empty
and no closer to shore will we ever sail.
Unless God Himself
invites us
to come ashore
to eat with Him a morning feast.
Truth be told to all hungry,
the Holy Son
of the Holy God,
waits with a campfire and fish on it.
Isaiah 6
Mark 1:24
Luke 5:8

on a Beach"
God's Holiness is at once
attractive and
dangerous, and Holy, Holy,
Holy means
God (3 persons in 1) is
Really, Really,
Really Holy. |
