Beyond Praise
When your steps mark these mountain paths Many years from today, Stories will move the lips of those You pass along the way.

As clouds gather near ridges of pine Below in his season’s yield A farmer will tell you of wiser seeds Sown by one, and by one man tilled.

The school’s foundation And the clinic’s walls, The roads and farms of our land, Blossomed to give us our health and hope As the modern was grown by His hands.

He will speak of a leader, Who like a powerful sword, Would defend with clarity and grace Against threats of militant action, Or corruption of inner space.

He will finish in whisper Of chaos like oceans, How mountain storms gather In confused explosions, Of how one man’s greatness Will be vivid and lasting Like the silence that comes After the storm’s fierce passing,

Of a selflessness That could endlessly reign, Of a power grown great By giving away. But when your steps mark these paths Many years from today The voices who praise In spite of their phrases Will end in silence …

Far beyond the sound of our voice, And the words that we seek, His Majesty remains untouchable, Always above the praises we speak.
