​ (For Clark Burt)

      If everything is everything
      who would risk it all?
      Only those who love
      know love is risking all.
         
            ― Clark Burt


We heard the tender calling
of Him who gave up all
condescending to our plight
to pluck us from the Fall.

We summoned Him to earth
our Savior Lord of All
His broken heart through which we burst
Gehenna's gateless wall.

What love was this, what mercy!
that bowed before us all
and washed our feet with worthiness
not ours but His withal.

The risk we cannot fathom
our hopes in Him were all 
see now our names all written
in the blood of sangreal.
