Christ and church Head and helpmeet Man woman he created them What is this mystery? Man is X and Y Woman is X and X It is written in our genes It is written in his Word It was written by his Word One prophet, one priest and head One weaker vessel Yet all are one in Christ There is no male or female Who could deny Deborah? Is there not Anna? Many great women of the spirit now Yet God incarnate is a man A mystery, a mystery What is in the Y-chromosome? If X, the rib, reproduced makes woman Then what is Y? Why? How do we honor Y? Both X and Y in balance "God" and "Good" mean balance Now we see as in a glass, darkly Then, face to face All mysteries unveiled You had rent the veil You come out, Lord Into your creation Husband into wife, union and mystery Spirit into matter, mystery Christ and his church Mystery, Mystery Life in the spirit, honor of the body God incarnate: mystery revealed Many sons brought to glory Stephen Pursell, 9/04 |  |
