The
gift for us under another
tree...
No blood was found in all the earth,
untouched by
Adam’s fall.
The
Father sighed,
then sent His
Son---A
lamb of God
for all.
His
Spirit met a
virgin’s womb,
and there was
formed inside
a
babe whose blood was God’s alone---a Savior
born to die.
So sinless blood without this
stain, now
walked with
Adam’s seed,
Prepared
to soak the
altar’s wood,
to meet man’s
greatest need.
And
so He came,
this promised
one, anointed
from on high,
To
bring Good
News the poor
would
hear:”The
Kingdom of God
is nigh”.
Since
His day more
broken hearts
have mended
without pay
More
prisoners
pardoned than
ever knew a
judge’s final
say.
He’s
healed more
sick, relieved
more pain,
than man will
ever know.
No
conquering
army set more
men free nor
bound a
greater foe.
‘Too
simple a
plan!’ some
minds would
say, as
“religions
“come and go.
A
good man—a
prophet, a
healer with
power; but Son
of God,
Savior...NO!
Men
turn their
backs on
heaven’s plan,
to devise
another way.
Yet
all was
complete and
finished when,
He shed His blood that day.
No
struggle now,
no blood
of goats,
no righteous
works at all;
By
simple faith Jesus’ blood forgives---any and
all who call.
