Imago Dei

Imago Dei, the Truth that Thou art God
The Truth that Thou art God, Imago Dei
The image by which everyone is awed
The awe which never fades nor goes away

The church will only speak with words that cost
With words which you must pay for, not these words
These words the church is hopeful you have lost
Or chased away, like noisy little birds

But noisy little birds are more than this
They do not sow, and neither do they reap
And yet, they sound as if they were in bliss
As if the words they’ve found are theirs to keep

So be a bird and keep these words today
Tomorrow and repeat, Imago Dei.
