"Unless I am convinced by proofs from Scriptures or by plain and clear reasons and arguments, I can and will not retract, for it is neither safe nor wise to do anything against conscience. Here I stand. I can do no other. God help me. Amen."

“Martin Luther’s Seal”
or “The Luther Rose”
While Martin Luther was a professor at Wittenberg University, he designed this seal. He declared that this is the “expression of his theology.”
I put a cross of black inside
The heart that stands for me.
I put it there because I know
Christ died to make me free.
A rose of white holds up my heart
Just like my pillow soft.
God keeps me happy and so safe
I never will feel lost.
Behind the rose the sky is blue
Like heaven’s sky may be.
I plan to live with Jesus there,
But first the world I’ll see.
Around this all I drew a ring
Of gold that has no end.
It’s like a promise God will keep
To always be a friend.
