Image In the Image
Adam was the father,
Abel was the son
Thus it was ... in the beginning,
love and faith was Eve passed on
Lamech was the father,
Noah was the son
In the sheltering ark years before the flood,
hope and prayer was rainbow passed on
Abraham was the father,
Isaac was the son
Two pilgrims sojourning in a strange land,
twin visions of Canaan joy was milk and honey passed on
Image in the image,
father seen in the son
Womb love with no umbilical limit,
heavenly promises were passed on to the earthly ones
Image in the image,
son seen in the father
One soul appendage,
a heart-shaped spirit mirror reflecting love farther
Isaac was the father,
Jacob was the son
Their children toiling in the bondage of Egypt,
patience taught them how to pass the obedience baton on
Moses was the father,
Joshua was the son
Moving from captivity to freedom,
Exodus signs and wonders was Passover passed on
God is the Father,
Jesus is the Only Begotten Son
Overthrowing death with the Resurrection,
Alpha and Omega DNA is gospel genetic cornerstone passed on
Image in the image,
Father seen in the Son
No sin ... no blemish
Identical ... two be the express same,
I AM THAT I AM is one name
Image in the image,
sacred Son seen in the holy Father
Perfect ... no blemish
infinity-shaped mirror reflecting eternity Light farther
