On Triune Love


To comprehend and to think of such a thing as the Trinity
Is the same to behold and to understand infinity
The point in all this is not to be all intellectual and heady
However, in all things to offer a defense we must be ready
Because what a better thing to set the mind upon
Such a great thing to have the will to latch on
God being One but also being Three
Yes the Great “I am” but also the Great “We”
Such a thing is wrought in ineffable mystery
But this is the basis for all of history
For it was on this the foundation of the world was built
Not even sin would cause this Community to wilt
Sacrificially perfect, pure and serene in themselves
For what keeps us not inside that world is the sin in ourselves
This entity is not monolithic in the Islamic sense
Because Allah has no love only evil recompense
Nor polytheistic as in the gods of Roman or Greek myth
For megalomania and narcissism are their essence and pith
The three we speak of is the Father, Son, and Spirit
The Greatness is such in that commune that we should seek to fear it
Expressions of love within this commune are anti-clandestine
For the glory we see, is them crying “yours” not “mine”
For it was the Father who gave The Son the earth
This gift was wrought in Joy and great mirth
The Father gives the Spirit free-flowing reign
To manifest Himself much to the devil’s distain
The Son gives to the father much praise due his great Name
Of which to manifest to His sheep so that they might do the same
The Son gives to the Spirit believers who are born anew
Of which He loves to dwell in those whom sin has not slew
The Spirit gives to the Father a great internal witness
That works itself to bring the heart to great fitness
The Spirit gives to the Son lasting evidence of His sacrifice
A True spoken testimony which will more than suffice
What we often overlook in this and fail to embrace
Is wrought in our lack of gratitude for this manifest of grace
For this Triune God who rules and is full of Benevolence
Could have hid Himself and all His prevalence
However, in His eternal and magnificent glory
Saw fit that He should include us in His story
Because this is the warp and woof of He being the great giver
For he gives of Himself to us in His Son as a Deliverer
This sacrifice of love is the only door to enter in
It is only in this where we see His grace within
Because being united to The Son in his Death
Is the only way we have living breath
