GOD’S ARTS GALLERY

The break of dawn

breath of life

bright blue sky

sunrise

sunshine

sparkling stars

radiant moon

rainfall

To surrender

One’s royal

Head to be

Crowned with

Thorns, pains

Shame& sorrow…

To surrender one’s royal body

Not on the

Account of

One’s crime;

But for the

Salvation of

Mankind is

The very height

Of love…
