The Battle of Milvian Bridge

A poem from 2018

In this sign, conquer
With this sign, conquer
On your knees, conquer
Through love, conquer
Praying for your enemies, conquer

Forgiving, conquer
In meekness, conquer
In righteousness, conquer
In life and in death, conquer
In joy, conquer

I could call down armies of angels
I could call down fire from heaven
I could make the ground swallow you up
I choose to die a death I don’t deserve

Bow your heads, conquer
In repentance, conquer
In faith, conquer
In silence, conquer
In peace, conquer

By your love they will know
Take my words into the world
Populate the kingdom of Heaven
Carry your cross, conquer
