The Hills of Zion - Poem by Raymond A. Foss

On the mountain, the hills of Zion
profound words, by the Messiah,
the one who would live out the words
the one destined for the cross,
fulfillment of the prophesies,
the Son of God
Sharing a glimpse of the Father
in that Sermon on the Mount
Listen, all of you, to the ends of the earth
the hills of Zion have something to say
Love your enemy, for he is your neighbor
as much as the ones you choose
All are precious in the creator’s eyes
