Creation, Fall, Redemption, & Renewal

You’ve always known me,
every single detail about me.

By your very breath you formed me Papa
just as you spoke the Andromeda into swirling existence.
And with each turn and gaseous sparkle from afar,
I am reminded that You’ve always known me, and I,
I love you, Papa.

Your beloved treasure, made for one another, no need for loneliness
because Papa, you were there ... but when sin joined in
You forced them out into a world forever changed to protect from eternal death.
Even in dark moments like this, You’ve always known me, and I,
I love you, Papa

When the pyramids were as young as Pharoah Snefru,
and your beloved people were slaves in Egypt
Until at last you gave them freedom, an Exodus way of life, a glint of shadowing Savior.
You’ve always known me, and I,
I love you, Papa.

And from hopeful glint among days long ago to God among us, Immanuel,
patiently You continue to sculpt us, refine us, renew us
Letting Your glory, Your kingdom, Your will shine radiantly upon our faces, our actions
And so, we, Your Church say, You’ve always known us, and we,
We love you, Papa.
