Savior filled with truth

Gentleness flows

Outward to others

Spirit knows

 

Ready to listen

Gentleness stirs

Shared with believers

Grace transfers

 

Savior always near

Gentleness loves

Risen from dark tomb

Peace-filled dove

 

Prayer opens heart

Gentleness speaks

Light shatters darkness

Mercy seeks

 

Savior’s faithful bridge

Gentleness leads

Steady, trusted rock

Heaven’s seeds

From Philippians 4:8:  “Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is pleasing, whatever is commendable, if there is any excellence and if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things.”

Franz Joseph Haydn Quote

When I think of God, my heart is so full of joy that the notes leap and dance as they leave my pen; and since God has given me a cheerful heart, I serve Him with a cheerful spirit.

From Proverbs 15:15:  All the days of the poor are hard, but a cheerful heart has a continual feast.”

Franz Joseph Haydn (1732-1809) was an Austrian composer.  Some of his most instrumental achievements dealt with the development of chamber music (both string quartet and piano trio).

God engineers a narrow road to keep us focused on His light shining ahead of us, and not on the darkness on either side of the road.

From Hebrews 4:15:  “For we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but we have one who in every respect has been tested as we are, yet without sin.”

Jesus, Son of Man

Human in every way

Temptation’s darkness

Resisting Satan’s play

 

Jesus, Son of God

Father’s one righteous path

Perfect and sinless

Upsetting evil’s math

 

Jesus, Son of Man

Born in humble stable

Love sent from Father

Sitting at His table

 

Jesus, Son of God

God walking among us

Our steps become His

Boarding heavenly bus

 

Christ, both God and Man

Bridges between each realm

Never bending knee

Steering from heaven’s helm

From John 8:54-55:  “Jesus answered, ‘If I glorify Myself, My glory is nothing.  It is My Father who glorifies Me, He of whom you say, ‘He is our God,’ though you do not know Him.  But I know Him.'”
