THE MAN CHRIST, by THERESE (KARPER) LINDSEY First Line: He built no temple, yet the farthest sea Last Line: The kingdom of the truth. Subject(s): Jesus Christ - Life & Ministry; Religion; Theology | ||||||||
He built no temple, yet the farthest sea Can yield no shore that's barren of His place For bended knee. He wrote no book, and yet His words and prayer Are intimate on many myriad tongues, Are counsel everywhere. The life He lived has never been assailed, Nor any precept, as He lived it, yet Has ever failed. He built no kingdom, yet a King from youth He reigned, is reigning yet; they call His realm The kingdom of the Truth. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...MYSTIC BOUNCE by TERRANCE HAYES MATHEMATICS CONSIDERED AS A VICE by ANTHONY HECHT UNHOLY SONNET 11 by MARK JARMAN SHINE, PERISHING REPUBLIC by ROBINSON JEFFERS THE COMING OF THE PLAGUE by WELDON KEES A LITHUANIAN ELEGY by ROBERT KELLY TO HELEN KELLER - HUMANITARIAN, SOCIAL DEMOCRAT, GREAT SOUL by EDWIN MARKHAM |
