Breaking Down the Distance
by Michael Doyle

From Ziggurats to modern church spires,
Attempting to reach God, we must be higher.
Appeasement by sacrifice attempts to atone,
This is what was done through Christ's sacrifice alone.

Theology preaches about the Heaven above.
All the other heavens, God had come to love.
Prayers come as proof of the spark of entanglement.
Physics and cosmology support this engagement.

While man often attempts to be God in the same,
The Wailing Wall allows us to call toward His name.
Hallowed be God's name, and often attempted to be used,
It was clearly to be safe, and is not subject to abuse.

The temple was meant to be separate and distinct.
It was holy and subject to separate instincts.
In His name was the glory brought to the Israeli nation.
Covered heads are a sign of reverence for God and His creation.

God's name shall not be taken in vain.
Anything less than reverence is seen as profane.
The Segala created God's people's special context
Of Israelis and Christians in every instance and text.

God's family lives functioning in this direction.
Every step in life is one of communion and holy celebration.
This is why all followers must walk within His light,
And keep His life as Jesus as the model of what's right. 

God's kingdom coming to the earth is mind-numbing,
As it was with Jesus, just wait until the Second Coming.
The Sermon on the Mount was not just words in vain;
Instead, it and the Bible usher in God's returning reign.

The Lord's Prayer serves as the Sermon's core.
It reveals the power of Go to heal and to restore.
This is the pinnacle that provides our direction,
Every word of it provides clarity in His correction.

God provides us with the manna of our daily bread.
The same as in the desert, His will has led.
He provides us with our earthly and spiritual nourishment
For us to have our needs met and carry out our accomplishments.
