Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God.

Hebrews 12: 2 (KJV)

---

Look steadfast to the One who carved our creed,
The Author of our faith, its perfect guide,
Who penned salvation’s tale in every deed,
And finished it where mortal hopes abide.
For joy unseen, He bore the cross’s pain,
Despising shame, a crown of thorns He wore,
Through anguish deep, He broke the sinner’s chain,
And rose to sit where glory reigns evermore.
His eyes, our beacon through the storm’s dark strife,
His hands, the chisel shaping souls anew,
From dust to grace, He authors endless life,
A work divine no shadow can undo.
So fix your gaze on Him, the race to run,
Till faith’s great Finisher declares it won.
