Life is a circle.

It loops and it circles around again.

It circles back through the beginning

and around and down through the end.

What once was before

now circles round into trend.

 

God knelt down low and breathed

dirt to become man and life.

His breath circles back

to raise man out of strife

when Holy Spirit wind divides

dead heart from new like a knife.

 

What began in a garden

with successful tempting of man,

circled back to a garden

and the culmination of God’s plan.

Temptation was repeated

but this time was banned.

 

God’s love and God’s holiness

leads to God putting on skin.

His wrath pours out on sin,

His mercy pours it out on Him.

When wrath circles back to the cross,

it turns out that love wins.

 

When Word became flesh,

He climbed down into time.

He breathed our air and

turned water into wine.

One day Word will circle back

and earthly life will join the Divine.

 

Life is a circle.

It loops and it circles around again.

It circles back through the beginning

and around and down through the end.

What once was before

now circles into trend.
