Me

A body, me?
It cannot be if believed,
through physical sense,
a seeming situation,
self-deception,
for God’s creation.

Where is the child of Love
the Word was speaking of
with its message from Above?

Not hid in dust, material,
Truth makes visible,
through spiritual sense,
man purely spiritual.

God ever here
image and likeness appear
to thought that’s clear;
then no deception
distorts conception
of man’s perfection.

Loving God, heart, soul, mind,
neighbor and self in kind,
we find reality
and see the me that Jesus saw,
when he healed the sick
and raised the dead,
man, with no corporeality,
just the expression of God’s qualities
individualized as you and me.

 

Man

not male, female, young, old
just Your image to behold

not weak, strong, right, wrong
all in love to You belong

not plain, fair, dark, light
only precious in Your sight

not fat, skinny, short, tall
just Your likeness, all

not rich, poor, slave, lord
opportunity is Your accord

not sick, sinful, or impure
created perfect is Your cure

awake, asleep, alone, alarms
always safe within Your arms
