THE SECOND SONG OF BISSONG

Like the roar of a lion 

Exuding great power,

The song of Bissong is majestic.

It is the voice of a King

Declaring authority and great might.


The song of Bissong is the crash of thunder,

Sounding from the highest sky

To the deepest of the ocean low.

It is the flight of an eagle,

Graceful and effortless without hurry.


The song of Bissong is the move of the wind,

Tearing trees and rocks in careless abandon,

Whispering strength and truth from God's canyon:

It is the flash of lightning

Turning dark days to the brightest nights.


The song of Bissong is the song of victory

Of God's people over the enemy:

It is a song of triumph

Rejoicing God's power in action.

It is the rumble of the waves,

It's primordial nature no less diminished...
