Where is the Lord in sin

Where is the Lord in sin?
If He is everywhere, are you to expect Him in sin?

Where is the Lord in sin?
Does He close His eyes and let you be?

Where is the Lord in sin?
Is He as helpless as you,
Or are you as powerful as He

If you have power,
Where is it then?
Where is the Lord in sin?

If you have Him,
And He you,
How then is sin put in the picture?
Where is the Lord in sin?

Where is the Lord in sin?
Does He turn a blind eye and leave you be?
Does He let your hand go for a bit and hold it after?

Where is the Lord in sin?
If He is there, why then do you feel dirty?
Or are you dirty because He is there––
Otherwise without Him it would have felt clean,
A matter of perspective

Where is the Lord in sin?
Does He weep, shed some tears?
Or does He shed blood all over again?

Where is the Lord in sin?
Are you redeemed, so you could be
Or are you redeemed, so you shouldn't be

Where is the Lord in sin?
Where is the Lord in sin?

Signal transduction

Generations of love in signaling cascade
Save several downstream effectors from ineffectivity
In an amplified fashion,
So that one may lead to several, not necessarily in subpar
Energies divided among filial progeny, but
Possibly synergistic, in tandem with adaptor signals

Downstream amplification multiplied among others
All that come from a single entity, birthing
Several processes––
A ligand so specific, a cascade so precise
All in control of responses and reactions

And what more can several ligands do,
But crosstalk that harmonizes toward a single
Combinatorial phenotypic response
In an all-or-none mechanism,
Fated as it is into a commitment,
A differentiation unlike others, but not unlike some

In this organismal unity, in quorum
All because of signals
That come from upstream
Maybe cyclic, maybe uni- or bi-directional
But towards an ultimate response
That only entirety could depict.
