Tune: Serenity
('Immortal love, for ever full')
Luke 13 v.20-21
********
Jesus said, What shall I liken
Kingdom of God to then?
It is like leaven or yeast, so
This comparison know
It is like leaven that one takes
To use it when one bakes
it be hidden in three measures
Of meal, it be there sure
Adn then the whole bread is leavened
Teh ingredients blend
The leaven causes it to rise
We see, there no denies
It hidden, though with potential
To grow much, expand all
It prospers sure, sustenance gives
Who eats this bread [of life] e'er lives

- Comment from author about the poem: A hymn-poem in 8.6.8.6. metre. I have mixed metaphors a bit. The last verse is more on 'the bread of life'.

We have been gifted with intelligence, so why is it so difficult to follow the righteous path, why must we be reminded again and again.
Thanks Suresh. We don't always choose the right way, I suppose.
