The Sign

 

THE SIGN SWUNG GENTLY IN THE BREEZE

SINGING A SOFT SONG TO ITSELF

UNLESS HE TRIED HE DIDN’T HEAR IT

BUT HE KNEW WHAT IT SAID

WITH PRIDE

IT SAID

JESUS

SON OF JOSEPH

MAKER OF EASY YOKES

GIVE US A SIGN

THAT WE MIGHT BELIEVE IN YOU

GIVE US A SIGN

A SHOW OF FORCE

A REGAL DISPLAY OF POWER

GIVE US A SIGN

I GIVE YOU THE YOKE

WORN RIGHT IT WILL NOT CHAFE

WHEN JOB

FINALLY

QUESTIONS

GOD

GOD ANSWERS BY TELLING HIM

HOW POWERFUL HE IS

NOT A SATISFACTORY ANSWER

FOR ONE WHO FINDS

HIS SUFFERING MEANINGLESS

NO

IF I MUST CHOOSE

BETWEEN A GOD WHO IS TRIUMPHANT

AND POWERFUL

OR A CARPENTER

WHO WILL MAKE A YOKE

COMFORTABLE

FOR A DUMB OX

I CHOOSE THE CARPENTER
