Lean
(John 3:17)
x
Not to condemn
But to love
Because God would rather love
And does love
It is gravity
The universe is biased toward
That which keeps us together
And God is biased
In the same way
x
Everything is biased
Everything leans
The one who can be objective
Best
Who maybe sets objectivity
Aside for math
(maybe)
Has chosen to favor
The impulse of creation
And an agenda
Toward ourselves
x
God would rather save than condemn
Would rather love than judge
Who will judge
And do so with perfection
Also to pardon
With a possibility
Faith required
Faith in something freely offered
Grace
The sacrifice made by another
Who was God
Who is God
That in the mixture of flesh and the divine
Blood and spirit
Sin and innocence
Might conquer death
And offer conquered death
As proffered life
The chance to live in hope today with
As the song asserts
Bright hope for tomorrow
x
Perfection chooses
Love’s mitigation
Case dismissed
Open the gates
Or however admission
Might be managed
Into heaven
And for now
Into today
