We have been looking at the Sermon on the Mount for our Sunday School and I asked the writers in the church to write something to post on the board. This was written by Bonnie Eggemeyer.
Draw Near and Hear
Matt ch 5-7
He sat down to teach them
That day on the mountain.
His words cut to their heart
They flowed like a fountain.
He taught them of humility
Purity & contrition.
The persecution of the righteous
The demise of the wicked.
The meek shall inherit the Earth.
Knock the door shall be opened.
The merciful obrtain mercy.
The secret rewarded in the open.
He told us to be an influence
Salt and light in the Earth.
A call to be perfect
The Kingdom should be first.
Give a man you coat
And go the extra mile.
Turn the other cheek
Your blessed when your reviled.
Did they know who taught them?
Did they even have a clue?
The Creator of the Universe
Laying down pillars of truth.
Not the thunder of the Law Givers mountain
Unapproachable to common man.
A still small voice on a hilltop
Teaching a greater command.
The law of faith and mercy
Love God, be kind to one another.
Obedience on the narrow road
Shine a light for your brother.
