THE FACE IN THE MOUNTAIN

There once

Was a little boy

Who lived in a small town out West

And visible

From that town

Was an image of a face

Carved into the mountain

The little boy would stare

At the face all day

And he would walk around town

Asking everyone,

“Have you seen the face in the mountain”

Well time marched on

And the young boy

Became a man

And to everyone’s astonishment

His face came to look

Just like

The face in the mountain

Isn’t that

What we are to do as Christians

Study Christ’s life and love so long

Study his teachings so much

That when people look at us

They see a human being

Embodying the qualities of Christ

So as the little boy

Became the face in the mountain

Dear Lord---we pray

That we may become

Smaller more miniature versions of you

So that we can say---like Saint Paul,

“No longer I

But Christ who lives in me”                                                 Galatians 2:20
