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
