Where does a Sailor land ashore,
When he has lost sight of his course?
Nowhere else but upon those Western Shores!
He hears the Angel’s cry for Abraham to spare his Youngster,
Whose offspring reach the Land of Pharaohs, where a Bush kindles,
And speaks unto Moses to split the Red Sea and free His People!
He traces them with the Ten Commandments for years on end until forty,
When the Lord delivers them to a Holy Land, flowing with milk and honey,
After the Fall of Israel, a Messiah is born in the days of Herod, as God’s progeny!
Across Jerusalem, Jesus gathers twelve to spread his Gospel,
While a Sailor muses to love thy Lord above all and thy brethren as thyself,
Following Christ’s footsteps as he performs miracles and challenges those Pharisees!
Atop Golgotha Hill, He’s Crucified to Resurrect after days on end until three,
From whence his values spread from Constantine to Charlemagne,
Until that Sailor found a meaningful passage with the Cross from the West!
