Poem Title:
Poem
Once upon a time~is the way the story goes The virgin, Mary, birthed the Son of God Wrapped Him up in swaddling clothes Then laid Him in a manger, where shepherds came to see The One of whom the angel spoke~Jesus Christ is He Though King of kings and Lord of lords, He took no royal seat But three wise kings who followed His star came to lay gifts at His feet And as He grew, a boy of twelve, Jesus did His Father's Will As a man to everyone He did good in every valley on every hill (Bridge) The demons left, the dumb could talk The dead were raised, the lame could walk The blind could see, the deaf could hear The Word of God He spoke was clear (Chorus) Grace is His favor, we behold And His Passion is the greatest love we've known Full of truth and everlasting mercy shown Jesus' story is the greatest ever told As the people followed Christ~giving praises to His Name Some religious leaders envied Him for His power and His fame So when His time had come to die~He was arrested by them Though the Son of God was innocent, they said, "Crucify Him!" He was wounded; He was bruised~He was rejected; He was grieved He was disfigured more than any man on the Cross between two thieves The punishment that brought us peace~with all our sins were laid on Him Still He said, "They know not what they do~Father, forgive them." (Bridge II) He said, "It is done!" Then Jesus died Upon the Cross they pierced His side And sealed the tomb in which He lay Still God raised Him up in three days {Bridge III} Justified by the Spirit and seen by men and angels He was believed on in the world~ and taken up to glory He is lifted up and still preached among the nations Every man, woman, boy and girl need to hear His love story (Chorus) Grace is His favor, we behold And His Passion is the greatest love we've known Full of truth and everlasting mercy shown Jesus' story is the greatest ever told
