Jesus, they say you are just a glorified man,
Not God Incarnate, no nail piercings in Your hands!
I am told that one day I will be as Thee,
The good works You have chosen especially for me,
Shall surely bring glory and great majesty!
So, Father, to what purpose is the “Pearl of Great Price”?
Was it really needful to send Your revelation twice?
The gospel and its letters to me seem quite complete,
Lord, there is no need to add to your words–so sweet!
And is man’s eternal happiness measured by his many wives?
Or, Lord, is it how unto Thee we consecrate our lives?
These sayings are perplexing, causing my spirit to be stricken,
For, Lord, in Your word I have found this to be written:
“In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God”! (John 1:1) “And the Word was made flesh and dwelt among us, and we beheld His glory, as of the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth”. (John 1:14)
