Not Consumed (poem from Mission Coffee Open Mic Night)

I just did this poem at the Mission Coffee Open Mic Night in Fremont. It was fun. Tere were a lot of really talented people there.

Not Consumed
You my God are a fire consuming but not consumed
Moses saw you on the mountain
And you are not consumed
You give bread and life to the multitude
And you are not consumed
You make the blind to see
And you are not consumed
You raise the dead to life
And you are not consumed
You suffered and were crucified
And you are not consumed
You died and were burried
And you are not consumed
With your blood you bought men for God
And you are not consumed
From every tribe and tongue and nation
And you are not consumed
You burn the affections of my heart
And you are not consumed
'til all I desire is to look upon your flame
And you are not consumed
To stand before your light is life
And you are not consumed
To fear you is pure joy
And you are not consumed
You resist the proud
And you are not consumed
You give grace to the humble
And you are not consumed
The imaginations of man are nothing before you
And you are not consumed
Your enemies will fall you consume them all
And you are not consumed
Your steadfast love never ceases
And you are not consumed
Your mercies never come to an end
And you are not consumed
You love me
And you are not consumed
You my God are a fire consuming but not consumed
