God Comes Down - Tim Knipp, Prophets & Kings series (Gen. 3:8; 1 Kings 6)

Strolling through Eden
just to be with us,
God offers Himself -
a companion 
for life.

A temple rose slowly
in the desert.
Excellence graced
carved doorways
and statues
of awesome size,
Evocative of 
garden space
shared.

God comes down
to be with us
in the here and now,
to stitch Himself
as permanently as shadow
to our fractured
souls
so that we might
never
be
alone.
