Peter is the Mouth
The Mouth wants to lead his family
So he leads with commands
But he makes mistakes
For his tongue is hard to tame
And his family is separated
Then He comes
He instructs the Mouth
That he doesn’t need
to use magnificent words
To be Magnificent
Only that he must speak Truth
Peter is the Mouth

Susan is the Hands
The Hands are Gentle
The Hands comfort
And soothe
Sometimes the Hands
Wring in distress
Then He comes
He ask her
To trust Him
And she does
The Hands learn
That not all her tasks
Are gently done
So the Hands
Become strong
For her tasks
Susan is the Hands

Edmund is the Feet
The Feet are willful
And he wants to walk
On his own path
So the Feet start out
But he discovers
That his path is steep and dangerous
So he decides
To turn around
Then the Feet learn
That he is walking
On a toll road
To exit he
Must pay the price
The price is too high
Then He comes
He is rich in love and mercy
So He pays
The Feet proclaim
That he will
Travel to the
Edge of the World
To spread His message
And he does
He tells the Feet to
Be Just
Edmund is the Feet

Lucy is the Eyes
The Eyes are the
First to see
The great land
That she loves
As she explores
The Eyes see
Things that frighten her
Then He comes
And the Eyes see
The One who loves her
More than anyone
He teaches the Eyes
That she need not fear
He tells her
That He is always watching
He tells the Eyes
That she is Valiant
Lucy is the Eyes

Aslan is the Head
He teaches the rest
Of the Body
About Himself
They learn that
They can do nothing
Apart from Him
He instructs the Mouth
On the Truth he should tell
He comforts the Hands
And makes her strong
He guides the Feet
Along His own path
He keeps His Light burning
So the Eyes can see clearly
Aslan is the Head
