In any event, it was clear in the mind of God
And all that was cloudy of earth
Yielded that night.
When God led Israel from Egypt,
He processed in a cloud
By night, a pillar of fire
Too pure to be seen in light of day
So, all that was cloudy
Converged upon the presence of God
Processing ahead of Israel
And it was clear in the mind of God.
That word was born in a world turned upside down
For whoever heard what we have been told?
The cloudiness of God is a thousand times more clear
Than the clarity of earth.
A king, born in a feeding bin
The Son of God, a manservant.
This is foolishness.
The Creator of the worlds, destroyed by human hands
Madder still
His spilt blood, the antidote for my own dying?
This insanity of God
It is lovelier that the soberest mind of man.
Oh, you who are so ancient
(But not the Ancient of Days)
And so experienced
(But not sinless)
How God's idiocy foiled all your cunning
Your craft and greatest coup naught but cloudy
For, all that was cloudy yielded that night
Because it was clear in the mind of God.
Jesus, you who are so Beloved of God
How finely wrought is His wisdom in thee
How tightly God hast woven thee in me
How I praise and magnify you
For you have distilled in me
One clear word
Thank you,
Thank you,
Thank you Lord
