Moses 1:39 (#2)

Moses 1:39
For behold, this is my work and my glory—to bring to pass the immortality and eternal life of man.

Sonnet 499 Moses 1:39 (#2)
By Tom Matkin 

That battle that began before this time
Is all about the agency of man
It’s not a point that’s subtle or sublime
You choose your fate by picking out a plan.

The one is mis’ry all dressed up as fun
The rebel call in irony complete
By disobedience their fates undone
They lose it all by opting for a cheat.

The other is surrender to a way
That works a mighty paradox of love
Your freedom found by learning to obey
A Father who defends you from above.

His work and glory tied to your success
His focus is entirely to bless.
