Hear Now the Father's Lullaby

Beneath the wounds
                                          of condescend
                                         What mortal soul
                                        could comprehend
                                       The broken spirit's
                                       Deep breathed sigh,
                                             Now hear 
                                       The Father's lullaby;

                                             'Child Mine, 
                                         you're in my view
                                         Come in and dine
                                           I'm near to you

                                         Come now child
                                           take my hand
                                          For your Father
                                           understands

                                      A gift was purchased  
                                         at greatest price    
                                       For you, accept my
                                              sacrifice

                                       Call on Me, My Love
                                               is true'
                                         Oh hear the Savior 
                                            call to you!  

                                         'Come now child'
                                         How He implores
                                        You ARE the child 
                                          That He adores 

                                            Your wounds
                                             The Father 
                                           comprehends
                                        What mortal soul
                                        could understand?
                                        The broken spirit's
                                        Deep breathed sigh,
                                              Hear now
                                       Your Father's lullaby

                                                                               
                                                                                                     
                                        
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. 
~John 3:16 KJV

 For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God... ~Romans 3:23 KJV

For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. ~Romans 6:23 KJV

 Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me. ~Revelation 3:20 KJV

wow, I was not expecting heavenly father. I thought it was maybe a typical dad. This was very creatively written.

You touched my soul with your poetry. Thank you for sharing your thoughts through your poetry, the Love of God through your notes, and who I am through the attached music of Jason Gray. The music brought tears to my eyes. Smiles ~ Blessings my sweet friend. Bill p.s. I almost forgot, I added this one to my FAVs list! :-)

Thank you so much Bill, His love is so incredibly encompassing, I am so glad this poem, and Jason Grays song and video have blessed you. God is so big, such a wonderful and mighty Father, and to understand His great love for us is sometimes so difficult as we feel the rejections and self doubts that many of us, maybe all of us carry. He LOVES us so very, very Very much. We can become brow beaten by others, quite possibly even in congregations of people who believe in HIM, but not in His Love for everyone. I love this video, it has comforted me many times. I'm so blessed it is a fave for you :) Be blessed my friend!

I see in this moving poem/lullaby the child/adult that has a choice. The answer will be for all eternity. It's simple but profound. Very well pinned. Another God inspired masterpiece BJ. Keep up the good work
