"spirt of Word's Light"

Awesomeness, of array
Lights in color display
Glass images of Christ
Love persona of sacrifice

As lanterns if you will
Sufferer of bitter pill
A tribute to ordeal
At summit, Golgotha hill

Word of flesh nailed to the stake
The payment for many a mistake 
On fateful day, the earthquake
From which many sons awake

Arise O`Beauty thus ascend
Through heaven’s window, Love's amend
New life begins for world was sin
Death to ashen new life begins

Faithful dogwood flower
Standing watch by the hour
For Christ arisen in power
` Tis Love, mighty strong tower

Three earthly steps in the light
The fourth, heaven’s window in sight
As an eagle took to flight
By two wings, holy Spirit’s might

By two roses of Sharon 
Love’s wings keeps their bearing
Through the window life’s given
God’s Eagle bears love’s leaven
Bears Firstborn’s return to heaven
