Christ Personified

To each man is promised a personal Savior
And so it must be that in the hour and need
of each man that he will see his Jesus
For surely is not Jesus all of the things
which each man desires the most?
Is not the Son of God a part of each and every one?

And that it is in the hour of need, of every
human being who has been cast upon the
shores of the desolate island of despair
And in the hopelessness of the wastes
which he sees about him
That he has found the hearts and minds of
men filled with iniquity and sin

And that their mouths are filled with blasphemy and lying.
So he must lift up his voice in despair,
for he has renounced all of this
And that the world of material desire has
become a cloak of sackcloth and ashes

And so as he transcends the plane of mortal expression
That he will suddenly see before him ~ a Jesus
A Shining figure surrounded in a radiant Halo of Light
And in His deep-set and Radiant eyes he finds
the utmost measure of compassion and sympathy

And he knows not he sees but himself ~
his own divine reflection.
And in his divine personified projection, he is but
reflecting all the Ultimate virtues of his own God Self.
