Poem
When earth was engulfed in the amniotic fluid of mother abyss, Your power moved upon the surface of the primeval depths, Like the coordinated contractions of myocytes in the uterine walls, And the earth emerged like a baby expelled from its mother’s womb. After the human race You created was plunged into a spiritual abyss by sin, It was time for You to demonstrate Your creative power once again. Mankind’s act of rebellion did not catch You by surprise and without a plan, Before the foundation of the world, redemption was conceived for fallen man. In the fullness of time You sent Your Son, implanted in a virgin’s womb, Like Adam’s race He must experience the darkness of the watery tomb, And then be expelled by the powerful contractions of the uterine wall, Because the purpose of His coming was to rescue mankind from the fall. From the moment He emerged from the womb, the battle with evil was enjoined, The lives of many infants were sacrificed in an effort by king Herod to destroy His, O what cruel irony that one in need of rescue would seek to kill his rescuer, And that the redeemer will be rejected and annihilated by those He came to save. From the elevated position on a cross, He was then placed in the darkness of a tomb, Reminiscent of His condescension from perfect heaven to sinful earth, But death and the tomb could not restrain the Creator of heaven and earth and life, On first day of the week, with life that was within Him, He arose victorious over death. So, for us lost and wretched creatures, trapped in a prison of sin. There is good news in the offing for the Savior is about to return, Not as babe in Bethlehem’s manger, but as Lord of Lords and King of Kings, With healing and salvation in His glorious and mighty wings. To accept God’s plan of salvation and experience peace and joy within, You must turn from your life of rebellion and accept His sacrifice for your sin, And then the Holy Spirit He will give you, to guide, transform and help you, Gain victory over sin and be ready to spend eternity with Him.
