The tree of life; what power,what mystery

We are little leaves upon the tree
We  never did control our  tiny worlds
The tree of life; what power,what  mystery

With metaphor,it’s easier to see
Life is tender,see each leaf unfurl
We are only leaves upon the tree

Singing in the sun we seem to be
Full of joy until the storm winds swirl
The tree of life;what power, what mystery

Extinguished   candles   smoke at Tenebrae
We are blown to death however bold
We are little leaves upon the tree

Thus we sacrifice to God discourteously
Yet as the wars continue, we grow cold
The tree of life;what power,what  mystery

Who has dropped us from the hands that hold?
Who has stolen certainty untold?
We are little leaves upon the tree
The tree of life; what power,what history.

 

If  pride’s the source of evil. who can boast?

Those who think they’re sinless,sin the most
Be humble self, we are not human gods
If  pride’s the source of evil. who should boast?

We are human, not the heavenly host
We will sin with knowledge  and with blood
Those who think they’re sinless,sin the most

Trust in God  and on his grace we float
Being neither demon nor all good
If  pride’s the source of evil. who can boast?

In another’s eye seek not the  mote
Did  not God die on a cross of wood?
Those who think they’re judges,sin the most

Yet  gazing inward triggers over-thought
We  should not aim so high but call on God
If  pride’s the source of evil. who can boast?

No more the dreadful judge with heavy rod
Instead a  Jew we murdered  while he loved
Those who think they’re sinless,sin the most
If  pride’s the source of evil. why  the boasts?
