Founder & Teacher, Desiring God
He held the world between his thumb and finger
like a tender grape.And when the spike was driven through his hand,
his muscles flinched with world-creating force,
and crimson wine dripped from his fingertips.But with omnipotent resolve
he neither dropped nor crushed his grape.
