The Teacher

We learn while at His feet
A beautiful retreat
And in His eyes the heat
Of burning love
He opens up His heart
So beating to impart
We cannot be apart
Now or above.
His ways, He teaches all
Who at His feet will fall
And answered to His call
To follow Him
His Word and words to bring
A wonderment to sing
Of Him who is the King
Eternal hymn.
And though He fills the mind
His teaching is defined
By head and heart combined
No other way
We choose the better course
And we his heart endorse
There is no other source
For us today.
Much knowledge can we show
Much doctrine can we know
We try and fight the foe
With human might
His armour we must don
His Word to stand upon
It is through Him alone
The foe to fight.
He teaches on the way
And though the sky is grey
His victory will display
A loving heart
No earthly effort planned
For love must hold our hand
To show the heavenly land
And not depart.
So teaching us is blest
By that which He expressed
In all His beauty dressed
The love of God
Greater it could not be
Depths greater than the sea
And telling us that He
Our footsteps trod.
So He has entered in
And walked His way, within
The world's dark night of sin
To show us how
To tread the path with Grace
His lowliness embrace
Reflections of His face
To Him we bow.
- ooo-
Though teaching us to walk
First, He must walk alone
His death for sins atone
To glorify His own
….Eternally we'll talk
….Around His throne.
