A Song of Doctrine and Non-Thought

Let the Councils fall upon our own experience and our need humility

Saying that we do not know the things we do not know

By allowing Christ to be what He is, as revealed by the Apostles

Let worship, prayer, and doctrinal study

Be what it always has been

The unfolding of the Spirit to our hearts

The words that things are called, taught by a history of debates

Are only important to their debates, milestones along a road

Of clinging to mystery and hope

Only by the teaching of the Holy Spirit

The pouring of love, of life, into our needy frames

Is there any meaning

Who debated who? Who won? All these questions are futile in the scheme of revelation 

Christ, our God, reveals the Father, and in turn is witnessed in all His glory by the presence of the Holy Spirit

All Church history proclaims, all the Law, and all the Canons,

Shows there to only be one brilliant point of light in a world of darkness

Jesus Christ, both God and Man, Died and Risen, In Heaven and in Us

This is the Love, the Mystery, the undefinable Revelation of God

No thinking will make it more or less true

The words that symbolize His Gospel beam with radiant light

And, like a moth, and was made to follow the light, never asking "Why?"
