Thought
With greatest skill most carefully
Carved out defence strategically.
Animated mask world to face.
Adapted to each time and place.
For every scene and every task
Crafted out for truth to mask,
Written acts of scenes conceive,
Of played impressions that we leave
Thus, when actor’s part is cast,
Role and actor’s thoughts broadcast
Place God in church for exaltation
When true God’s in the congregation
Drama masks in ancient Greece
Made from wood and cotton fleece,
Are not preserved in glass displays,
Since none survived those older days
When made up mask is set aside,
When truth is one without divide
When even stage lights disconnect
Truth stands there readily to connect.
Prayer
O Lord grant me the vision to see Thee peeping out playfully behind each of Thy masks as people, places, and scenes. Let me recite Thy lines from Thy script and never falter or question Thy plot or design for I am made in Thy image.
