To Complete the Law - Poem by Raymond A. Foss

To fulfill, the law, the prophets
to complete the law
with the grace of God
love come down
offering salvation
in the humbleness of Christ
being the salt of the earth

Authentic and common
walking here with us
giving up power
submitting to God
offering hope
in his teaching, healing
an example for us all
that we may find life

Following the Christ
the commandments of God
the law and prophets
showing us how to live
walking humble
with our God
loving our neighbors
as we would want them
how we would be treated ourselves

A light to the nations
carrying Jesus
to love the Messiah
offered on the cross
the cup of our pardon
in his sacrifice
the love of God so great
we may see paradise
