HE IS RISEN !

HE IS RISEN !

Shall we deny him our feet to climb those stairs; shall we keep back those hands that he would use; and shall we seal the lips by which he would speak the tender message to the dying soul?

Nay, rather, shall we not say:

"Take my feet, and let them be
Swift and beautiful for thee.
Take my lips and let them be
Filled with messages from thee.

"Take my hands, and let them move
At the impulse of thy love.
Take my voice, and let me sing
Always, only, for my King."

And by every movement of our bodies say to men as we pass on our pilgrim way: "I no longer live, but Christ liveth in me." So live that our lives shall be a demonstration that "Christ in us, the hope of glory," is the Indwelling Presence that guides us in that way.

GLORY POEM # 9



magic


OH ...SO BEAUTIFUL !

Oh....so beautiful through your eyes,
A place inside I've come to realize
that all's been said in your behalf
though appearances are "madness", many will laugh.
but, I alone know what you have given
a "Jewel" Oh...so beautiful!

My mind ascends above to a place I know,
as you speak in terms of "Love" to friend and foe,
never will I again be the same
for I''ve entered into silence from where Jesus, himself came
a quietness, a stillness
allowing all to speak their mind in accordance with your "Name"
a "Jewel" Oh...so beautiful!

What position can I possibly now take,
Now the gloriousness of what I see causes my heart to ache,
to bring to a finale all injustices which causes such pain,
for this again is why, you yourself came
for now "In Oneness" we walk
from the beginning to the end, listening carefully as you talk,
a "Jewel" Oh...so beautiful!

No reason to argue, no reason to dispute,
what's put in motion must follow suit,
for not my will, but yours, do tell,
secrets from above on high, so mysteriously fell,
leaving traces of gemstones, glittering prisms round about
highlights of your wisdom and trueness, there leaves no doubt,
a "Jewel" Oh...so beautiful!
