How shall we enter the Kingdom my King?
Shall we take the path of light that you bring?
And walk the walk in the steps of you saviour?
And talk the talk of the babe in the manger?
How shall we enter the heavenly Kingdom?
How shall we open our hearts to the song..
Enter as a child as a new born baby child
And see the world as one, see it all as one
How shall we walk in your sweet grace?
How shall we look upon your face?
We cannot create as the Lord can create
We cannot percieve as the Lord can percieve
So how shall it be for us?
How shall we open our hearts to the song?
Enter as a child in the heart of the God
See all as one as a child has done
Create beauty in your mind and in your heaven
A hand for the spirit, an eye for the kingdom
A male for the female and female for male
And all the world shall be yours
And ye shall enter new and pure
Author notes
22. 'Jesus saw some babies nursing. He said to his disciples, "These nursing babies are like those who enter the (Father's) kingdom."
They said to him, "Then shall we enter the (Father's) kingdom as babies?"
Jesus said to them, "When you make the two into one, and when you make the inner like the outer and the outer like the inner, and the upper like the lower, and when you make male and female into a single one, so that the male will not be male nor the female be female, when you make eyes in place of an eye, a hand in place of a hand, a foot in place of a foot, an image in place of an image, then you will enter [the kingdom]."'

Whoa what an incredible background! And uplifting, inspiring words to compliment it. This is a refreshing, lovely tribute to the teacher.

Nice!
This is an excellent tribute to one of the greatest teachers of humanity that ever lived. Nice take on the prompt. These are my favorite lines:
"Create beauty in your mind and in your heaven
A hand for the spirit, an eye for the kingdom"
You might want to change the font color, some of the type gets lost in the stars in the background making it difficult to read.
