More Than Marvelous

.
When a child covers his eyes
     to make someone disappear,
And the person's still standing there,
     nothing's really changed, has it?
Only in the child's mind.

Enmity toward the Christ
     will not make Him disappear,
          or ever take His eyes off you.
He will still be the stumbling stone
     upon which you will trip when
          you get up to go.

When a child covers his eyes
     thinking he has disappeared
And the child's still standing there,
     nothing's really changed, has it?
Only in the child's heart.

Apathy toward the Christ
     will not make you disappear,
          or ever be invisible to Him.
He will still be the grinding stone
     under which you will indeed be
          turned to flour.

When a child keeps his eyes wide open,
     and does not run and hide,
He will see where he stands indeed
     in relation to what is true,
In both mind and heart.

Acceptance of the Cornerstone,
     will allow you to stand forever
          safely beneath the great
               weight it supports,
And it will be more than marvelous
     in all our eyes.
 

Matthew 21:33-46
