Just thinking about the gods (things) that we worship, we look to for help and hope. All the while, forgetting the one true Answer to all our questions. Saga's Ten Commandment Challenge


The Face of God

Icon,
Idols, supreme
Models
Of gods we worship without
A care.
Oh, why,
Do we dare
To replace the face
Of the Creator
With our own
Creations,
Passions,
And flavor?
We do it,
You know,
Because we
Savor
The ardor Of a
Savior.
But, we look for help
In places without gain
All the bowing, kow-towing
Is in vain
For our salvation comes not
In our own doing.
Satisfaction
Comes with one
Sincere action...
Repentance is redemption
Given by Grace
When we offer ourselves
Heart to heart
And
Face to face
to God.
