Reformation Day Poem by Timber Koleden
Reformation Day
Thud! Thud! Thud!
Hear the thunder on the door
Of truth, released from papal lore
God moving the hammer of man
Fathomless purposes—divine plan.
Tinkle! Tinkle! Tinkle!
Hear the herald's greedy jeer
Call the poor and unknowing near
‘As a coin in the coffer rings
A soul from Purgatory doth spring! '
Knock! Knock! Knock!
Deceivers in pulpits' place
The Scriptures hid from Peasant face
The truth defined by word of priest
Kept in secret; hidden from the least
Boom! Boom! BOOM!
Hear thunder in the words
The Truth sharper than royal sword
God speaks to man by Holy Writ
Not by fallible man, with words unlit
Crash! Crash! Crash!
God moves—divine myst'ry
Moves hearts to Himself—for His Glory
Hear the hammer falling—revealing
What is true and what is misleading
Bang! Bang! BANG!
Salvation attained by Grace alone
Through Faith alone; in Christ alone
Revealed in the Holy Word alone
—To the glory and praise—
Glory! Glory! Glory!
To the Glory of God alone
Amen
Soli Deo Gloria
