These Are My JOTtings, Part #2

Pantoum: "Forever is a Day"

Forever lifting hopeful hearts
we'll bless the Savior's nail-scarred hands.
The Ancient of Days has known no starts,
fulfilling all His wondrous plans.

We'll bless the Savior's nail-scarred hands,
that kept Him on the rugged cross,
fulfilling all His wondrous plans.
He purified, removed the dross.

They kept Him on the rugged cross.
Those gentle hands by work made rough.
He purified, removed the dross,
until He cried, "That is enough."

Those gentle hands by work made rough
still fashion Time from endless Mind.
Until He cried, "That is enough,"
He lived in flesh of dying kind.

Still fashions Time from endless Mind,
The Savior, Who is ever young
He lived in flesh of dying kind,
until His first great song was sung.

The Savior, Who is ever young.
The Ancient of Days has known no starts.
Until His first great song was sung,
forever lifting hopeful hearts.
