And then our Lord and Maker

Bowed His head

And stopped to rest

On the very same day

That symbolized

The reason why

He had to wait

Until that very dayGenesis 2:1-3Luke 23:50-56

To show us what

It really means—

To love our neighbor

As our self

Before we stop to rest.Matthew 22:35-40Luke 10:25-37

s the still small voice,

That sounds

So very near . . .

Always

The voice of God

The Holy Spirit,

Who whispers in our ear?

Or could it ever be

The subtle speech

Of another

Seeking to mislead us,

Or deceive us?

Jesus

Seemed not to hear

The heated talk

Of those who sought

Her execution.
