Made of Flesh and Blood - 2 - Poem by Raymond A. Foss

A man, each one of us
made of flesh and blood
able to feel pain, joy
as we walk upon the earth

Christ came from his throne
descending from heaven above
walking as one of us
offering his love

Giving his all for each one of us
dying for you and for me
taking on the stain of our sin
pouring out the blood of his life
his flesh rent for us

Entering Time

Christ, God, Emmanuel
Entering our world
the infinite, unending
entering time,
bound by, defined
human life
a journey between
for the divine
Like him, we too
living on this earth
walking the way of the Christ
born again, by the spirit
washed in his blood
In the image of God
walking in the world
between creation and heaven
ascending once more
