Analysis of Hillside Power and Promises
Is it that He stands
Upon that high place.
Captivating crowds
Who sat there long.
Simple Life to sermonize
So sweetly.
Making faith, forgiveness
Quite a song.
Giving, trusting daily
For provision.
Going extra miles
Should someone ask.
Building strong foundation
With His ethic.
Shirking never from
Compassion’s task.
Praying quaint as if
To Father’s joy.
Seeing child-like as
The path to Heaven.
Letting Mercy tasks
Each day employ.
