Ode to the Body of Christ

Oh, the sacred tapestry of flesh and soul,
wherein the Divine makes us whole.
In Him, the fractured world will mend
where hearts once torn now will blend.

Each thread of life, a saintly limb,
together woven in the fabric's whim;
A symphony of purpose, love's own art,
where every beat is from a redeemed heart.

His eyes, the windows to God's grace
reflects His Heaven's gentle face;
Where mercy meets the earthly gaze,
and hope will never be misplaced.

His hands, the instruments of His peace,
Dispensing love in every release.
They cradle hope and softly mold
the hearts of those in need were untold.

His voice, a choir's sweetest part,
Sings hymns of joy to heal the heart,
It echoes through the vast, wide expanse-
The melody of God's own chant.

Our mind now the sanctified throne,
Where wisdom's whispers are not alone,
Where thoughts of love and truth are born,
To light the dark, and guide the forlorn.

This body, once of clay, now bright,
A beacon in the endless night,
A bastion of the holy light,
Where Christ's own spirit reigns aright.

Individually, members of Christ we stand,
Together – our body, souls and hands.
Each one unique, yet bound as one,
A testament to Christ's sweet sonnets' song.
