Holistic Righteousness

In the garden of our hearts, seeds of faith we sow, 
Tending to the herbs of duty, meticulous and slow. 
But Jesus whispers wisdom, a truth profound and clear, 
“Justice, mercy, love—these are what truly matter here.”

Justice, like a river, flows through every deed, 
Treating others fairly, meeting their every need. 
Mercy, like a gentle rain, softens hardened ground, 
Compassion blooms in kindness, where love is found.

Faith, a sturdy oak, roots deep within our soul, 
Trusting God’s unseen hand, making broken hearts whole. 
And as we cultivate this garden, tending to each part, 
We find a holistic righteousness—a masterpiece of heart.

So let us not forget, amidst the rules we keep, 
To nurture love’s sweet blossoms, where grace runs deep. 
For in the grand design of faith, compassion, and grace, 
We find communion with our Maker—a sacred, boundless space.
