A Sunday Doxology
Praise to you, the Word,
whose words are full of life
and healing, wisdom and
truth.
You speak words that cannot
be destroyed by lies or censorship
or even by time.
How amazing it is then,
that before your accusers,
you chose silence.
Not because you were guilty
with no adequate words of defence,
but because you were simply
exercising restraint,
a silent surrender
to fulfilling words already spoken.
Thank you.
