In the midst of the church he opened his mouth.
And clothed himself in a robe of glory.
Was St Athanasius just another dry saint of long ago loyal to his truth?
A fierce opponent of the Arian heresy, long forgotten, a long lost story.
But this is no dry Nicean debate.
Is he just created by his father and no equal?
Did God then not descend to man’s low state?
To God’s power and glory not as one but history’s sequel?
But then man is left to low earthbound estate.
But this I believe God once was we.
Not just One who was and is in unchanging state.
But subsumed in love He gave all for us, his truth to see.
To this champion of your son’s divinity.
We owe our serenity.
