thunderstruck – v2

What could this mean
these men speaking
in words beyond belief
speaking in our language
in words we can understand

Words of the Christ
of Jesus of Nazareth
crucified, risen
seated with the Father
a way to heaven

Thunderstruck, amazed
minds reeling,
heads spinning
hope beyond comprehension
at what all this means
