My Little Box
by louis gander I cannot prove the miracles behind salvation's locks, but if I could, here's what you'd see inside my little box... --- If I pulled out, a piece of cross with blood stains smeared about, if I had all the photos here, so you would have no doubt, if I had froze the moment that they nailed Him to the cross, so you could see that gruesome pain as shadows passed across, if I had casts from footprints there, the cross and where it stood, if I had pulled those massive nails from deep within the wood, if I had here the crown of thorns they pressed down on His head, so you could know the torment and the flowing crimson red, if I had froze that sunset and showed their facial fear, if I could show you nail prints and Jesus' final tear, if I had filmed the thunder and veil that ripped in two - that whole occurrence thoroughly - to play it back for you, if I could fill emotions with the blackness of the tomb, if I had breathed the fragrance in, exhaled the old perfume, if I could pull the linens out and hold them in my hand, or show a relic of the stone so you would understand, if I took out, in brilliant hue, a painting so profound, if I could sing in perfect pitch with great harmonic sound, if I had grasped an ocean breeze beyond the longest docks, so you could smell its freshness here inside my little box, if I held high His halo and proved His torture wrong, if I had seized that moment and then wrote the perfect song, if I had found the precise words that Jesus has for you, then I could prove the love of God and testify it true. No... God requires something else - a loving, faithful heart - so grab your eyes and pluck them out, and rip your box apart! He sets our anxious mind at ease, and offers all of us - a personal relationship, of peace and faithfulness. --- If we can see, then we believe - yet Jesus wills that we, would never follow with our eyes, but rather faithfully.
