Jude 1:25 (KJV)
“To the only wise God our Saviour, be glory and majesty, dominion and power, both now and ever. Amen.”
I. Wisdom
To the only wise God, our Saviour,
whose counsel predates the first dawn,
who inscribed the law on spiral arms
before the serpent learned to crawl—
let every question find its home
inside the silence of Your throne.
II. Glory
Be glory: the uncreated light
that clothed the bush yet did not burn,
the splendor Moses could not sight
until his face with radiance turned;
it streams from wounds upon the tree
and crowns the humble bended knee.
III. Majesty
Be majesty: the diadem
of galaxies in circling dance,
the terror veiled in Bethlehem,
the thunder hushed in swaddling bands;
kings cast their crowns, the mountains bow,
the seraphs veil their faces now.
IV. Dominion
Be dominion: the quiet reign
that holds the sparrow in its fall,
the scepter breaking every chain,
the kingdom come in spite of all;
its borders stretch from east to west,
yet fit inside a sinner’s chest.
V. Power
Be power: the Word that split the sea,
the breath that woke the valley dry,
the might that knelt at Gethsemane
and chose the nails instead of sky;
it raises dead men from their shame
and whispers life into a name.
VI. Now
Both now—
in hospital wards and wedding feasts,
in refugee boats and candlelight,
in every heartbeat of the least,
Your mercy keeps the dark at bay;
the clock may race, the shadows fall,
but grace outruns the speed of all.
VII. Ever
And ever—
when suns collapse and moons forget,
when entropy has paid its debt,
when last amen is softly set
into the hush of finished strife;
Your glory, majesty, dominion, power
will bloom eternal in that hour.
Amen.
