Sir Ricky's Inspirational Poetry Corner

Many members, body of one,

The same is true for Jesus Christ;

That the Father had through His Son,

Allowing to be sacrificed.

All are baptized in one Spirit,

In one body whether Greek or Jew;

For salvation we inherit,

Single member being tried and true.

A foot can never be a hand,

Because a hand can never walk;

Lips and tongue can never stand,

Just as the foot cannot talk.

The same would be true for the ear,

Would not be able to see;

Just as for the eye cannot hear,

Nor able to pray any plea.

Ears never had a sense of smell,

As the eye could not take a breath;

But the whole body is a shell,

That starts to decay after death.

God has placed each of the members,

In the body as decided;

With a mind for one remembers,

Of how His Word is abided.

So just where would the body be?

If one member would not be there;

No eyes for the body to see,

Or no ears for the sounds to hear.

No part of the body can say,

They need not another part;

For the potter molded the clay,

That no portion able to thwart.

Those members that would seem weaker,

Are still considered essential;

Because the mind is a seeker,

Each member having potential.

Each member clothed with great honor,

As well as having dignity;

Because each one is a fawner,

And is showing no vanity.

If one member suffers all do,

If one is honored all rejoice;

To all the body not the few,

Lifting up the entire voice.
