Echoes of Light: Verses on Faith and Redemption #424

Echoes of Light: Verses on Faith and Redemption In the hush where light and shadow blend, A profound essence softly speaks— A melody of redemption, a gospel deep, Where divine becomes human, a tale unique. Life, death, resurrection—a path so steep, A tapestry woven for souls to seek. Repentance, crucifixion, in these we keep The essence of salvation, for the meek. A single soul's redemption, a cornerstone, Illuminates the path to Heaven's throne. Not in numbers, but in one heart turned home, The victory of Christ's gospel is shown. Beyond wrongdoing, sin's shadow looms, Tainting purity with guilt, in silent rooms. Subtle self-deceptions, inner glooms, Sow unrest, guilt, and shame that consumes. Called to live in faith, in integrity's bloom, Under God's gaze, in light's vast dome. In solitude, in darkness, faith resumes, A life of prayer, repentance, no room for gloom. Vigilance against temptation's allure, Lust, greed, shadows that endure. A journey towards peace, pure and sure, A daily practice, life's rich contour. In Christ's call, a reminder so pure, Against inner shadows, we secure A path of redemption, faith's cure, As bearers of light, forevermore. Written by Steven G. Lee (February 26, 2024)
