12/26 Limerick: Beyond Sacrifice

Published by

on

To see God with eyes that are fresh
We must let him prepare our flesh
For mere sacrifice
Won’t make us think twice
Until we’re reborn in a crèche

“You did not make me give you sacrifices and offerings
Instead you made my flesh ready to receive your Word”

[My attempt to harmonize the Masoretic Text of Psalm 40:6 with the Septuagint of Hebrews 10:5]
