At the end of the sermon, the pastor recited a poem by William Cowper. He's been emotional sometimes, but this time it was too much for him to endure, so his cry was more obvious as he recited it. I was sure I heard some sympathetic crier on my 9.
I get that this poem, "Light Shining out of Darkness", was turned into a hymn, "God Moves in a Mysterious Way", which would be an apt comfort for those who felt victimized by the problem of evil. However, I still don't quite get why the pastor would get that emotional or cry about it. Especially when someone who's probably the most emotional guy in the room like me, was not feeling it. Not feeling it now either as I am trying to examine this poem further.
