The Lion and the Lamb

Church bells will peel from the towers As clocks strike the midnight hour Angels and church choirs will sing Joy to the world from the new born King Come to a world in need of healing During this time of deepest appealing Sister moon and the stars shine ever bright! Adorn the skies on the holiest of nights! Babies asleep infused with God’s gifts Birth of “Love” comes to mend all rifts Memories forever, our young ones will keep To last a life time in hearts so deep Children yearn for love the most and need Food for body and soul teach them to sow They journey in desert and rivers as they grow Make them fit for potent storms on the winds For our lives are songs each of us sings Good works are needed, yet seek after faith Eternity comes for you and I on any date Not much time, keep watch how sand flows Even wind whispers secrets that it knows Look around you; evil is taking its toll Step outside your little world, go take a stroll Use to be roses first bloom in early May By summer’s end roses should be yawning away Now, winter’s near, yet new buds appearing Subtle changes are up and it is alarming! Ignore the signs; this mighty dam’s 'bout to burst Soon the idol, “jade water” will turn to dust Time to replace our idols with the real deal Before our final fate is sealed Place our faith in the one we can trust God is Love, but He is also Just The Lion and the Lamb The Great I Am! Calling all; hear his voice While it's still our choice! ~*~

The Great I AM is a winning wonderful rhyme. This should be the insert for a Hallmark card! It really reads well. Congratulations on this! Gerard.
