HE DIED FOR ALL…WILL YOU BELIEVE?
–
All fall short of the glory of God,
But people think it odd
That Jesus chose to die
And they wonder why?
–
Most think they are good enough,
Or work it out to call God’s bluff…
Thinking God is JUST LIKE THEM…
Just a human.
–
How can God explain
What is worlds beyond what we contain…
An infinite Mind…
That is kind.
–
The Heavenly Father planned
Reconnecting with mortal Man…
Living in one of us
To show God’s mercy thus.
–
Our God chose developing
Gradually to do His thing…
Lessons learned:
Salvation isn’t earned!
–
But a big part of the story,
We don’t understand “HOLY”…
Totally without any sin,
Who then has none within?
–
Only one, human logic thinks odd,
A Man—who is God…
Holiness in flesh,
The One time it will mesh!
–
He first came for Hebrews,
As the Holy One bringing good news…
Then Gentiles…
On they too, god smiles!
–
For every gift there is cost:
For a moment Christ was tossed…
His Father wouldn’t look on sin…
Which for us, Jesus became.
–
Crucifixion, suffering, death…
He chose that on our behalf,
That whoever will believe in Him
And what He did…is cleansed of sin.
–
There always is a choice for us,
That’s why all this fuss
Over a Man who chose to die–
Resurrected bye-and-bye!
–
Choose Him and be blessed,
There’s no time for delay and jest…
He did it all for you—
Clothed in Him, you’ll be made holy, too!
