A Change Came Over Jesus - Poem by Raymond A. Foss

The telling of Transfiguration
one of the greatest understatements of time
“a change came over Jesus”
something far more than sublime
He was glorified on the mountain
raised up from the clay
forever changed in an instant
for this grace we praise
God speaking a message
“this is my son,
listen to him”
The commissioning
of the carpenter
to go to the cross
to pay the sacrifice
A change came over Jesus
more over all of creation
in that moment when he
became whiter than white
redeeming us from death
the die cast in that moment
God’s love pouring out on us
the world made brand new
