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.
