A great while ago the world begun,
With hey ho, the wind and the rain,
But that's all one, our play is done,
And we'll strive to please you every day.
A song for the Last Days, the Fullness of Time, that end of all ages inaugurated at the conception and birth of Jesus, the Incarnate Son. Tomorrow we celebrate the Epiphany, or more properly, the Theophany, of Jesus - his baptism in the Jordan and the revelation of the Holy Trinity in our space-time.
The play is done, and yet here we live in a kind of epilogue. Into the seemingly empty theater sounds a Voice, saying 'This is my Beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased', and the Holy Spirit is revealed to always be alight on the Son, manifesting his glory as the only-begotten of the Father. And with that, the story of Jesus has barely begun before we hear of death, resurrection, and Triune love.
Tell me there's another who saves, who loves. Tell me there is another who is Life itself. Tell me, and I will not hear you.
