JOHNATHAN'S SONG

The Communion of Saints: His True Destiny
To laud the eternal Rhythm
of Heaven’s Own Song
God’s Wonders made known
Through the works of his hands
To Magnify God’s Glory: His True Desire
The full flame of the Holy Ghost
Unkindled the windows of his animus
His pupils enflamed by the infinite fire of the Holy Ghost
He was selected by the hand of God 
alongside the Communion of Saints
His Soul began to sing
God’s people majestically unified
And the very heavenly choir of Angels
Joined in the song of his soul
Alleluia

The Heavenly Father received
Johnathan’s Song 
magnified from his very animus 
As a mother longs for her child
God smiled
Johnathan’s Person
Began to emanate the very light of God
A glow about his person
bright and radiant
He had begun to shine brighter 
than the purest of diamonds.
All in Communion, 
the hosts of Heaven proclaimed
Our Very Brother, God’s own Son
Who is this one exuding the light of God?
A man as bright and pure as the noonday Sun.
