By Jonathon Vogel
The innermost secret
The exchange of love
Revealed in Jesus
A pure gift of
Divine Revelation
And sacramental life
Made perfect in virtue
In freedom and life
Complete in its being
The simplest of all
Named and unnamed
YHWH for all
Gift upon gift
Union of three
One and the same
One yet three
Father in form
Son as man
Spirit as breath and life
The Eternal Exchange
Reflecting its gift
In all of Creation
Everything pure gift
Trees grow from fruit
Rocks speak of foundation
Water of healing
And mountains of might
Angels reflect
Love's will and intellect
Man in His Image
Two sexes met
Close like a mother
Intimate in love
Close like a father
Providing the seed
Like unto a wedding
Is Jesus and Church
The Eternal Exchange
Imaged on Earth
Religion made new
Longing and heart
Laws speaking softly
Showing us the better part
The Eternal Exchange
Written in our hearts
Drawing us deeper
Into Love's Blessed Life
