MY EXAMPLE, ALMIGHTY!

He is always somewhere out there –
in the zenith of Eternal Glory,
but in the hearts of the Faithful Temple
He creates with His Covenant Spirit.

He doesn’t choose people by stature
and doesn’t trade with titles and power.
He recognizes only at the Cross
among those in whom He reigns.

In outstretched hands of faith,
He seeks His pierced wounds.
And heart by heart, testing each,
He separates the hearts of the Lord.

He does not acknowledge human kings
and has no regard for teachers.
If the grain of wheat dies,
He resurrects it in a bountiful harvest.

Merciful, among those sinful in flesh,
He freely gifts with Spirit Magdalene,
so that within her heart, He may be the Way
to the Heavenly Paradise garden.

He doesn’t extinguish a flickering lamp
nor trample on reed with His feet.
Even a wolf, He’s ready to save,
and from it, call forth a Lamb.

He is my Example, Almighty!
In His works – Holy and wondrous!
Most beloved in the Kingdom, a Man!
To the Saints – Love and Song!

He is the Root in the Holy Firm,
and the Star amidst morning Glory!
To follow Him – in Life or death,
thus my spirit forever hopes!
