his spirit and the first ‘I am’ that stirred
all things to life and hovered like a bird
above the deep. He tested Abraham,
who in a thicket found a waiting ram.
In Egypt, through a sacrificial lamb,
he freed his people. He was in the cloud
on Sinai, in a trumpet blast so loud
that on the plain the trembling Hebrews bowed,
yet met Elijah in a still small voice.
His presence made the psalmist’s heart rejoice,
and pleasures evermore attend his choice
to dwell between the cherubim. In grace
he sent his only son to share this place
of tribulation with our fallen race -
the Word becoming flesh, the destined lamb
who died yet lived – and, as for Abraham,
‘Before he ever was,’ he said, ‘I am.’
And so the Word that hovered on the wing,
the ever-present yet returning king,
has made, and makes, and shall make angels sing.
