You are tossed about in the tempest.
He has laid in deep sleep in the vessel.
Awaken him and still the waves and winds.
When he arises you will feel the great calm.
You see your body, your hands, your feet.
Do you see your head?
Do you see the eyes?
Christ is the head and has no form.
But can be seen in many forms.
Can be seen in all forms.
You are the body of Christ.
Christ has no body, but yours.
No hands and feet, but yours.
No eyes to look upon the world, but yours.
Lay "your" body upon the cross.
Nail "your" hands and feet.
Die to the "you" that thinks it is seperate.
When he arises you will feel the great calm.
It is no longer "i" who lives
But Christ that lives in me.
And yet I live.

I liked this I think that this is very original maybe the repetition with "ours" and "your" is a bit extreme but it all relays to the consistency of your message good job keep writing
