One Crown That No One Seeks
Emily Dickinson
One crown that no one seeks
And yet the highest head
Its isolation coveted
Its stigma deified
While Pontius Pilate lives
In whatsoever hell
That coronation pierces him
He recollects it well.
Pray: Show Me
Show me,
Gracious Lord,
the peace I should seek,
the peace I can keep,
the peace I must forgo,
and the peace I must give,
For Your kingdom’s sake.
