Knitter, 2:2: Response to Colossians 2:2-3

Knitter, 2:2

Response to Colossians 2:2-3

Knit two,  purl two, stitches out of mangled strands,

Red, yellow, brown, white—no two shades alike—

This yarn made to warm, the strands

Untangle, softened by  Your hands.

Red, yellow, brown, white, no two shades alike,

Strands are knitted, patience guiding as they are

Untangled, softened by Your hands

That guide the strong rods, good under Your command.

Strands are knitted, patience guiding as they are

Themselves, yet made better together.

That guide the strong rods, good under Your command

To discipline the unruly, all together fit.

Themselves, yet made better—together,

This yarn made to warm, the strands—

Under discipline and rule—altogether fit.

Knit two, purl two stitched out of untangled strands.
