Poem inspired by Brother Eleazar
God is light, God is love,
Shining from the throne above.
He alone, immortal bright,
Dwells in unapproachable light.
Before the earth took shape and form,
Before the stars and sun were born,
God spoke forth a radiant ray—
A light to lead, to show the way.
That light, His image pure and true,
The perfect Son, in glory knew.
With power divine, His voice was heard:
“Let there be light”—the living Word.
Thus the Son was brought to be,
Begotten bright, eternally.
Through Him, all things were made to shine,
A masterpiece by Love divine.
And in His plan, before all time,
He called His own, His light to climb.
Chosen ones to share His grace,
To stand in Zion, face to face.
Then the Word took flesh to dwell,
The Light of Life, Emmanuel.
Jesus Christ, the Holy One,
God’s own glory, Heaven’s Son.
“In Him is life,” the Scriptures say,
“A light to guide mankind’s way.”
He called His own to rise and see:
“You are the light—a city set free.”
Zion’s cornerstone, once despised,
Now exalted, glorified.
The builders cast the stone away,
Yet now it stands, the Rock, the Way.
He conquered death, brought life anew,
A burden light, a yoke so true.
And those predestined hear His call,
To walk the path, surrender all.
For He’s the Way, the Truth, the Life,
Through Him alone, the end of strife.
No one sees the Father’s face,
Except through Christ, His gift of grace.
So wake, O sleeper! Rise and stand,
Let Christ’s light shine through the land.
You are now a living stone,
In Zion’s gates, forever home.
Cry aloud, “Abba, my King!”
Darkness fades—His light you bring.
For from the dawn of time He knew,
This radiant path was made for you.
Walk in the light, steadfast and bright,
And He will guide you through the night.
