His Eminence
Let’s rise!
For the King of kings rides on a colt-
His sandals adorned with gold
For He is pure and just
His Eminence reigns
Behold His magnificence
Beyond effability
His glory beyond fallibility
His Eminence reigns
Drop it off…
Drop it at His feet
Your horrors and miseries
He is able to change
His Eminence reigns
You are not alone in your distress
You have cried for too long
Come thither
His Eminence reigns
The wherefores of your conundrum
He knows
He is not unaware of it all
His Eminence reigns
He is the harpoon
You are the bait
Draw nearer
What can’t He do?
