In the shadow
Of the Cross
Is a humility
That belies
A Power
That is
Not misused
Or abused
The goodness
Of the Father
Son
And Holy
Ghost

Lord You don’t My accomplishment You want My obedience A trust Without condition I could try And give You the world Then I Remember It’s yours The purest love Requires Not grand gestures And public audiences But quiet resolve To be The best Ambassador For the Kingdom
Amen.

As a Jew, the cross isn’t part of my tradition, but I can connect with the values you express—humility, goodness, and using power for kindness. Those resonate deeply in Judaism too.
ReplyDeleteThe cross is the central point of our faith, and you have expressed it beautifully here

Beautiful! Our Lord was humble, even to the cross - still being the second person of the Trinity.
