Journey of Renewal: A Spiritual Ode #244

Journey of Renewal: A Spiritual Ode In the light of God's grace, a truth we embrace, Our nature, like Christ, pure and divine, Through the gospel's voice, we make our choice, To see the world, through love's design. The cross, a beacon, where truth is spoken, Reveals our essence, in Jesus' reflection, In God's sight, all is right, A world of goodness, without exception. Blessings lead, while curses recede, Goodness first, evil's release, In Christ's story, lies our glory, A narrative of peace, and eternal lease. "Behold, a new creation," so says the citation, Old life gone, a new dawn begins, In Christ anew, all things true, A journey of the soul, where grace wins. From earthly frame, we claim, A destiny beyond the stars, Awaiting the day, in faith we stay, For eternity's doors to unbar. In God's own time, a future sublime, Where spiritual bodies rise, Reserved for those, in Christ who chose, A promise of paradise. Thus, we walk in faith, not in wraith, Transformed by the love of the Son, In hope we soar, forevermore, Until our heavenly crown is won. -Written by Steven G. Lee (February 9, 2024)
