A poem in honor of Good Friday. 33 words, one for each year of Jesus’ life.
I wanted to do a rhyming poem for you next, since it’s been so long
but this is what my heart had
Today’s poem: Deep Calls to Deep
In tribute to Jill Phillips, Andy Gullahorn, and most especially to Andrew Peterson, whose songs call to God’s Spirit in people and the world in a way that I do not yet have words powerful enough to adequately extol. This poem has been brewing in my heart for a while, but after attending The Local Show the other day, and getting spiked through several times by the truth in their music, I just wanted to do something to say thank you.
So, though words are not enough, thank you.
I wrote this in honor of a dear friend and great man, Philip List Jr. No poem could capture the power of his legacy. But as we honored his life, and his amazing family stood before us in unity and strength even amidst their sorrow, I was struck with the last words of this piece. So this is for him and for them.
“A Remnant Remains.”
