IN BIBLICAL TIMES
THE EARTH WAS VIEWED
AS SQUARE
AND FLAT
THE WINDS THAT BLEW
FROM THE FLAT SIDES
WERE GOOD
THOSE FROM THE CORNERS
LIKE NORTHEASTERS
WERE BAD
SO THE FOUR CORNERS OF THE WORLD
WERE AS FAR AS A MAN COULD RUN
AVOIDING GOD
LIKE JONAH
THE PSALMIST SINGS
IS THERE ANYPLACE I CAN GO
TO AVOID YOUR SPIRIT? TO BE OUT OF YOUR SIGHT
JOHN WOULD HAVE FOUR ANGELS
AT THE CORNERS OF THE EARTH
HOLDING BACK
THE WINDS OF DESTRUCTION
TILL ALL WHO WOULD BE SAVED
WERE SAVED
AND I THOUGHT
THIS GOD WHO HOVERS OVER ME
LIKE A CLOUD
WHO CARES FOR ME
LIKE A MOTHER
IS THERE ANY LIMIT
TO HIS LOVE FOR ME
THAT GOES TO THE CORNERS
OF THE EARTH
AND BEYOND
WHO DID NOT MAKE ME
TO ABANDON ME
BUT RATHER HOLDS ME
IN THE PALM
OF HIS HAND
