What we have seen is not only
His deep eyes like reaching into the unmeasurable cosmos;
What we have heard is not only
His clear voice like the high blue sky of spring.

What we have truly seen is
The living truth as the life-creating power at the Beginning;
What we have truly heard is
The mysterious grace like the loving breath of the Beginning.

Yes! What we have seen is his deep heart;
It is the logos, the dynamic motion of truth and grace.
It is the energy which recreates those being broken.
It is dynamics of the love which creates life as at the Beginning.

Yes! He came from the Beginning to us;
He became living truth among us;
He became mysterious grace for us.
We can breathe in creative love with Him now.

We are witnesses of these things: (1)
Full of grace and truth in His spirit and life,
Harmony of grace and truth in His body.
We are testifiers of the mystery: full of grace and truth.

Rev. Yong Sub Sim
