Warner Sallman Head of Christ
Alleluia! Praise Yahweh, all nations; extol him, all peoples,
for his faithful love is strong and his constancy never-ending.
PSALM 117 TNJB
I am Controller of nations—Ultimate Solution to the world’s problems.
Searching for stability? You will have to go beyond politics to find it.
Nations around the globe are anything but united—they are unsettled.
Swords outnumber plowshares—war costs more than agriculture.
Spears outnumber pruning hooks—killing fields exceed orchards.
One day the Prince of Peace will settle international disputes.
My Son will fight the war to end all wars and unite the nations.
All cultures need My calm; all governments need My control;
all economies need My contentment.
I am Creator of all humans—Unique Savior of the world’s people.
Seeking peace of mind? Approach My throne—it is mercy, not marble.
My kindness is as sure as sunrise—you can count on it.
Need cleansing for your soul? The blood of Christ purifies your heart.
All colors need My clemency; all geographies need My comfort;
all educational levels need My cleansing.
I am the Christ of Constancy—Universal Sovereign of the world’s praise.
Hungry for something dependable? It is really Someone you need.
My changeless love fills your life with consistency.
My glorious reign fills your heart with courage.
My eternal life fills your personality with celebration.
I am the Center of Faithful Love—Unending Song of the world’s peace.
Yearning for joy? Hints of glory encircle you—greet the morning with praise!
Whatever happens, stay focused on Me and enjoy perfect peace.
Trust the Captain—sail through troubled seas on an even keel.
My consoling music is your cheer; My gracious mercy is your communion;
My encouraging meaning is your confidence.
Looking for eternal significance? Ponder life’s Greatest Reality—
I am the One Who Will Always Be Who I Have Always Been;
I have always loved you, and I always will.

Comments
Indeed, as Paul wrote to the church in Collosse:
“The Son is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation. For in him all things were created: things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or powers or rulers or authorities; all things have been created through him and for him. He is before all things, and in him all things hold together. And he is the head of the body, the church; he is the beginning and the firstborn from among the dead, so that in everything he might have the supremacy. For God was pleased to have all his fullness dwell in him, and through him to reconcile to himself all things, whether things on earth or things in heaven, by making peace through his blood, shed on the cross.”
(Col 1:15-20)
And as the Son said of himself:
“I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. If you really know me, you will know my Father as well. From now on, you do know him and have seen him.”
(Jn 14:6-7)
