Now And Not Yet (after 1 John 3:2) - Ruah Bull

Nailed to the silent cross
Of soul-breaking Empire-
We stand amid the lost
Angels, held back, weeping
No presence, comfort, power
Displayed before the jeering
Now shouted whispers, prayer
Of trusting and despair -
The Father, stricken, waiting
You see and hear from hell and Hell
Each tortured empty heart
That begs and Yes: this Mercy
