After Hebrews 12:18-29
His is the voice
that shakes the earth,
his is the voice
that shakes the heavens,
the shaking removing
what is made so that
only the unshaken
remains. The temporal
passes, crumbling into dust.
Only the true, the eternal
remains, the kingdom
that remains unshaken,
the kingdom of the one
who is the consuming
fire.

We used to do the song "The Voice of the Lord" with our band at our old church. Your beautiful poem brought it back to me. The voice of the Lord is all powerful!
Blessings, Glynn!
