a gaping hole

Christ left heaven

a gaping hole in paradise

for thirty-three years

while he walked the earth

part of God missing

from a seat in Glory

become mortal man

here on earth with us

emptied of power

in human flesh

walking with us fully human

God incarnate

loved poured down from heaven

a gaping hole above

filled when Christ ascended

returning in love.
