Poem
In a nutshell, here’s the story Of this Guy and she who bore He On the surface this description Reads a lot like science fiction When a young girl gets a visit From a being – human isn’t He tells her that she’s now with child Though she’s never “Girls Gone Wild” No, this girl with virgin bod Hears she’ll have the son of God And then this being finds this gent Tells the story – gets his consent They marry and go on this trip The child is born, the heavens rip The beings sing out “Peace on Earth” And all rejoice then at this birth The child grows up a normal kid Doing things that all kids did But when the kid becomes a man He carries our his Father’s plan He heals the sick; makes blind men see The lame to walk; cures leprosy Says his power’s from above Tells them of his Father’s love Asks them all to love their brothers And worship God and have no others Tells them of eternal days If only they will change their ways But he upsets the powers that be They beat him; nail him to a tree He dies; they put him in the ground But three days later He is found Back alive just like he said Although he died – no longer dead He said that this fulfilled the plan That His Father had for man He asked his friends to carry on Then rose to heaven and was gone He said he would return one day To take us all to God His way And all his friends then told his story Of God’s love and His son’s glory I fear that this, my poor depiction Came across like science fiction When in fact the story’s true The Son of God came here for you He lived; he died there on the cross So that all life was not a loss So sins could then all be forgiven For all the dead or not yet livin’ He dies to unlock heaven’s gate For all who love and give up hate He lived and dies so we could see The promise of eternity And how through Him we can achieve If we love – if we believe That Jesus Christ – this peaceful lamb Is one - the same - the Great I Am That through Him we can rise above And bask in the glory of God’s love And all these blessings you’ll receive If you in truth say you believe Mdailey 5/23/11 This came to me at 3 AM - I grabbed paper and pen and started writing by the night light. I was done at 4 and was then able to go back to sleep. Hope it finds you in a receptive mood.
