most of the time the robber gets away.
Most of the time the widow's heart is broken;
most of the time the orphan has to pay.
Most of the time the king collects the harvest,
most of the time the worker is his slave.
Most of the time the truth is covered over;
most of the time deception wins the day.
Most of the time the sun sets after it rises;
most of the time heroes are just men.
Most of the time...
But there will come a day
when the sky is ripped apart with light -
thieves will freeze in their tracks
kings will cower on their thrones
liars will choke where they stand.
They will see the one called Faithful and True,
they will come face to face with the Heir of All Things.
He, the First and Last, will judge them,
and the widows, watching, will dance.
And the fatherless, the voiceless, will sing.
And the slaves will leap, and the whole earth will cry out with joy!
For everything will be set right!
Everything stolen - restored.
Everything crushed - restored.
Everything extorted - repaid.
Everything trampled and battered and broken,
everything mocked and twisted and torn -
Redeemed.
Answered.
Everything.
Most of the time, I forget to remember that there is one hero who is no mere man....
