God’s song

Joni Overton-Jung

against the steady
drumbeat refrain
of bullying taunts—
the worn soundtrack
of what sometimes
feels like your life

there sings
a stronger, quieter song—
insistent
unwavering
paean of peace

listen . . .

no matter where you go
no matter where you are

listen . . .

right through
the tired trope of
cruel cacophony

God’s song is singing

to you
in you
as you

calling
whispering
assuring
declaring

behold this untainted melody:

the inescapable
irrepressible
unobtrusive
Christly diapason
of grace

divine Love’s
perpetual refrain:

o beloved one
holy wholly beloved one
the song I sing is you

We'd love to hear from you!
