Selah!
Selah! (Ponder and Think)
God wills and sends angels to earth.
To celebrate the Christ Child's birth.
Where kings and shepherds did behold.
At the manger they gave Him gold.
Warnings reached His parents. They fled.
King Herod ordered children dead.
Mary and Joseph took great heed.
God saved Christ from the horrid deed.
Born in the town of Bethlehem.
The Son of God; sin's requiem
Three of thirty-three years He taught.
His life ended; man's hatred wrought.
But resurrection saved the day!
And Pentecost brought “Light” to stay.
Christ on earth taught His Father's way.
Mercy for sin repentance lay.
God forgives us as we forgive.
Obedient faith; blessings give.
We are judged as we judge brothers.
Judge not. Instead forgive others.
Celebrate all goodness in life.
Calm the soul and relinquish strife.
Prophets taught all around God's world.
God loves us all. Peace is unfurled.
Throughout the world where hopes weaken,
Let God's words become a beacon.
Love and cherish every other.
Through true faith uplift another.
We have the rules so grab them up.
Jesus Christ drank His bitter cup.
Follow His lead through righteous ways.
Claim world peace in these latter days.
Selah
