Love Poem: He Understood

He Understood

From its swaddling clothes of night
God stepped out and bid there be light
And the high waters too obeyed
And heaven and arrayed was in love arrayed

Chorus
He understood from the beginnning
What I should need until the end
Love made me in his image, the living
Focus of what faith so frail comprehend
Creation and cross was only for me
Only for me, the gift of all majesty

Down from love immortal realms 
My friend's calling ring anthems
Sweet, from the tree where we sup
To the garden of the cup

To thee O God, again I
Come, No longer to deny
My sin and grief surrendered
For sweet the grace you tendered.
