Holy Love, Isaiah: Light of the Nations - Tim Knipp

All will be blessed
through you.
Through you and
your seed
will all be blessed.
All and each - through you
all earth's
people

will be blessed,
blessed,
blessed.

Such is the heartbeat
of our God.
We hear it again
and again,
through Joseph,
Ruth,
David
and Solomon.

He says,
Look to the future
I have planned:
I will be exalted
above the earth
and all peoples
will be drawn
to Me.
Every tribe
and nation
will live together
in harmony
and justice -
centered around
my pulsing
heart
of holy love.

Holy love
seeks out wickedness,
insists on holiness -
severely roots out
festering angers
and deformed
egos
in order to bless.

On the cross
Christ spread his arms
to reveal
My love for all peoples,
drawing them,
calling to them,
to you,
so that all might
receive the 
promised 
blessing:
My holy love.
