In the body of Christ, each part is divine,
Serving God, each member, a unique design.
Behold the hand, with purposeful grace,
A touch of love, a comforting embrace.
Eyes that seek the light, the truth to see,
Mouths that speak God’s love, pure and free.
Be the feet that tread the righteous path,
Guided by love, escaping evil’s wrath.
In every stride, let the mission be clear,
To serve God’s will, casting away fear.
Shoulders bear burdens, knees bend in prayer,
Arm dance in love, playing a symphony rare.
Some are new, some weathered by time,
Yet all essential in this grand paradigm.
No excuse for hate, no room for condemnation,
In this body, built on God’s foundation.
The lesser parts, with care we hold,
For in humility, true strength is bold.
The nose humbles itself, avoiding the air,
No arrogance, no pride, with love to declare.
The spine stands firm, against the curse,
In unity, the body, in God, immersed.
Regardless of your place, your time,
In this sacred body, all hearts align.
The Body Of Christ
