Temple of the Heart and Other Christian Poems

by Alfred D. Byrd

Overview

Here is a collection of poems on faith, hope, and charity -- the virtues that we live out when we're rooted in God. Our Creator's story appears in epics of the Bible and in lyrics of doubt and faith emerging into praise of the One Who is Light and Love. Creation takes place, a man of faith leaves home for an unknown land, a community of slaves becomes a people of the Law, a temple is raised and then destroyed, the Deliverer comes with new life for the world, the world awaits judgment and renewal -- these are accounts that enable us to walk as members of a people of faith and service. When we are gathered together as one before our Sovereign, we form a temple of the heart, greater than any earthly temple, in which God dwells forevermore. May these poems be used from on high to bless you with growth in grace and knowledge of the truth.
