A portrait of the living Christ

Our five senses in portrait of Christ

A portrait of the living Christ
not a picture in a frame
but his beauty on a spiritual plane

Close your eyes and come with me
with your five senses you will see
a portrait of Christ in all His majesty

Sense Jesus' touch he is near
casting out all your fear
mending healing restoring you
just as he said he would do
replacing pain and despair
with His tender loving care

Oh taste and see that the Lord is good
His word is spirit truth and life
food that comes from paradise
no other food could ever bring
the abundant life of Christ within

Smell His fragrance Christ is here
no earthy fragrance can compare
it captures the soul and floods the mind
takes us to the realm of the divine

Listen you have never heard sound so sweet
as Christ's whisper when He speaks
Neither harp nor violin
nor if a thousand angels sing
could ever match the sweetest sound
of Christ's whisper to the soul of man

Feel His touch take his hand
Go with Him to the fragrant land
Eat the bread of life its free
Hear His voice whisper it's Me
Now look in the mirror and you will see
a portrait of Christ He's in you and He's in me.
