Three

Stand awed with spirit, soul, and body--- pause. Physical, chemical, and biological laws obey God's commands, the trees with applause. The Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost bear record in heaven, first and foremost. His created works speak also, a magnificent boast! The Holy Spirit, water, and blood testify to the perfect One who cannot lie, Him who was, and is, and is to come nigh. Holy, holy, holy! By Him all atoms abide: protons, neutrons, and electrons side by side. Procreation continues from husband and bride. In him we live, move, and have our being, and by the gift of His light, spiritually seeing the Spirit's presence with worshipers agreeing. God's Spirit resides as we worship together. Lifted high, shared burdens become light as a feather and faith bonds as strong as a braided tether. At mealtimes, we may bow to Him by choice, elevating thanks with our God-given voice. Even planets, stars, and galaxies rejoice. Omnipresent, omniscient, omnipotent God performs. Like gas, liquid, and solid matter transforms, God's wondrous being is One with different forms. From Ham, Shem, and Japheth we live on. A humble reminder of grace to gaze upon. Each racial mix as from a primary crayon. Between God and man a mediator stands, One with nailed feet and pierced hands to take your place, having obeyed all commands. A string of traffic lights leads to a decision. Broad is the way to death and derision. Narrow is the turn to life and provision. 5-10-2020 Isaiah 55:12 12 For ye shall go out with joy, and be led forth with peace: the mountains and the hills shall break forth before you into singing, and all the trees of the field shall clap their hands. Acts 17:28 For in him we live, and move, and have our being; as certain also of your own poets have said, For we are also his offspring. Ecclesiastes 4:9-12 And if one prevail against him, two shall withstand him; and a threefold cord is not quickly broken. 1 John 5:7-8 7 For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one. 8 And there are three that bear witness in earth, the Spirit, and the water, and the blood: and these three agree in one. Matthew 18:20 For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them. Daniel 6:10 ...Daniel... kneeled upon his knees three times a day, and prayed, and gave thanks before his God, as he did aforetime. (Three meals a day, praying at mealtimes?) Revelation 1:4 John, to the seven churches which are in Asia: Grace to you and peace from Him who is and who was and who is to come, and from the seven Spirits who are before His throne, Matthew 7:13-14 13 Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat: 14 Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.

Juliet, this masterfully composed with poignant imagery. Not only do you use groupings of three words to illustrate the theme, but each stanza has three lines. Congratulations on your win. Blessings, prayers and benedictions to you.
