Read 2 Peter 3 v 8.<\/strong> Recite this out loud:<\/strong> In charging ranks of teetering waterfalls, Sweeping on, majestic, to a line Ten thousand years ago, the line was made The powers of darkness, against The Lord of all, As long as there\u2019s The Moon and Earth still spins,
\nBut do not forget this one thing, dear friends. With the Lord a day is like a thousand years and a thousand years are like a day<\/p>\n
\nWhipped up by hurricanes, horizon-wide,
\nReined in from a quarter million miles
\nBy The Moon in her gravitation grip,
\nThey\u2019re seething through their night-long thunder ride
\nUntil their reins are loosed and all\u2019s let rip
\nOn the rumbling, raging, roaring morning tide.<\/p>\n
\nJade, grey-green and sapphire water walls,
\nFrom rain cloud shadow or a blue sky lick,
\nRacing on through sun and head-on squalls,
\nTrailing exhaust plumes of rainbow slick,
\nTheir age-long-ranging wave song, \u201cPraise the Lord\u201d.<\/p>\n
\nWhere red-hot streams had stopped and formed a rind
\nOf wicked, brooding, matt-black, lava rock,
\nFrozen at the place and since the time
\nWhen, halted by the waves\u2019 explosive shock,
\nIt turned to tortured shapes of wild design.<\/p>\n
\nAnd ever since, the daily battle\u2019s raged
\nAs each wave\u2019s every rippling liquid ounce
\nRears up, a water-muscled monster, caged
\nUntil from its one, suicidal pounce
\nThe cynic rocks with white, wave blood are sprayed.<\/p>\n
\nAnother battle raging since the fall
\nOf angels and of humankind from good.
\nBut victory cannot now be forestalled.
\nHis Kingdom\u2019s seed is sown as martyrs\u2019 blood,
\nHis mills grind slowly, but grind exceeding small.<\/p>\n
\nTides will flow and waves, ride on the winds
\nFor ages upon ages, bit by bit
\nRevealing in their battle which side wins,
\nAs rock is pebble-pounded down to grit,
\nTwo battles sealed, as soon as war begins.<\/p>\n
