Poems By Sandie ![]() Because of Jesus Because of me The father couldn't look at you But Because of you The father can now look at me. Because of my sin You who never sinned Bore my sin In your own body. Because of me You bore the penalty of sin Because of me You were rejected by the father. Now Because of you My sins are all forgiven I no longer have any sin to pay for Because of you The father will never reject me Because of you My future is assured Amazing love! That caused you to give All that you are, Now I want to give you All that I am! ----------------------------------------------------------------- GOOD FRIDAY - EASTER SUNDAY What was so good about Friday? The Friday my saviour died. It was good for me, But not for Him, My penalty He paid, Instead of me. They buried Him And thought Him gone! They sealed the tomb Then stood guard. Saturday came and went. No sign of my Lord that day! But when SUNDAY came, My Lord rose again, First born from among the dead! ----------------------------------------------------------------- THE DAY THE SUN REFUSED TO SHINE All creation mourned, The day the sun refused to shine. The Temple curtain was torn in two. From top to bottom it was torn. The day the sun refused to shine. Jesus the way did open up. The day the sun refused to shine. Now here was a sacrifice worth giving (having) The day the sun refused to shine. Not like the ones the priest’s. On the days when the sun did shine. The blood of goats could never take away sin. Whether the sun would or wouldn’t shine. But the blood of Christ my Saviour could. On the day the sun refused to shine. ----------------------------------------------------------------- Aching Mangled and turning The whole earth is yearning Aching out its pointless theme How long? How long? How long? My senses are reeling My soul needs more yielding Heavy, oh so heavy! Time goes by unending ! Oh so much pain How can I contain? The pain, where’s the gain? It’s such a drain! The pain goes on and on, With no sign of abating, The hopes, the years All smashed Trashed. While I sit watching! When will there be light again? When will it get bight again? When will I get right again? God only knows! God only knows! God only knows its true God only Knows! Thank God He knows! I thank God that He knows! He cares, He’s there, He shares the pain I now know gain He’s nearer than a brother ! Better than a mother ! He knows more than any father ! He’s more gentle than a sister! What can I say ? He’s melted my heart! His presence is calming! The pains the same But the shame has gone It still seems like my world is crumbling Tumbling Down and down But He brings such peace! In His presence I stand complete Accepted No longer rejected No longer abandoned But now I've been pardoned I’m accepted by Almighty God This God who loved me so much That He gave his only Son ,to get back in touch With me! Whose broken Mangled Entangled So caught up in pain But I now know gain Through Him who loved me For who I am! ---------------------------------------------------------------- A BETTER OFFER YOU'LL NEVER GET GOD so loved the world, That He gave His only son. Especially for you and me. So is that good news or what? He gave Him to save us, To save us from our sins. The sin we inherited from Adam, Now how fair is that? How fair is it that Jesus? Should pay our debt? But pay it He did By His death on a cross! The King of all creation suffered In our place. To pay a debt that wasn’t His And freedom bought for you and me. If heaven is your desired destination Then there I something you need to know! That the only way to see the Kingdom of Heaven Is you must be born again! Born not by a father’s will But born of the Spirit of GOD To all who will receive His free gift Will be gladly welcomed in. So what are you waiting for? A better offer you’ll never get! Jesus for us has paid our debt, Such a wonderful way our need He met! ------------------------------------------------------------- HOW DO YOU FILL YOURS There's a GOD shaped hole in all of us. How do you try to fill yours? Some try to fill it with work, They work all the hours GOD sends them! But no it doesn't work, Not completely, Not for long. There's a GOD shaped hole in all of us. How do you try to fill yours? Some try to fill it with love. They get married, Have children, The hole seems to go Away for a while But no it doesn't work, Not completely, The hole comes back. There's a GOD shaped hole in all of us. How do you try to fill yours? Some try to fill it with money and possessions. The latest sport cars, And Spanish villa's. The hole seems smaller, But then it begins to gape, How can we ever escape? The only way to get rid the hole , Jesus came to solve and console, He's paid for the mending work , With His death on the cross. Now you need to make Him Boss. God knows how he made you , And what will satisfy your soul, He'll fill the hole. God made us for His pleasure, He wants us to be his treasure. To get the best out of life, Let the Holy Spirit, Get out His knife, And cut out the rubbish in your life, Then He'll come and with you reside. One God shape hole, Filled ! ---------------------------------------------------------- DISTORTED WORLD We live in a distorted world, Nature is in decline. It was never meant to be this way! But we live in a distorted world. The distortion started with the serpent Who distorted the truth in the garden. You will not die! now that was a lie. The distortion had just started Don’t listen to his lies and can I make this plain His plan is to distort and maime. To stop this, is why Jesus came And put an end to his horrible game. ----------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------------THE FIRST CHRISTMAS At Christmas we remember The gift that GOD has given, To anyone who'll let Him in, Cos He with us is smitten. What love is this? The maker of all creation, Should come to live in such depravation? Of His own free will He did it, Not considering the pain. It gave Him no great benefit. For us he took the blame. What love is this? That maker of this spinning sphere Should come our sin and debt to clear? Once He put His glory to one side, Became a little child, So we could share his glory And eternally with worship to him, go wild. What love is this? That maker of the cosmos Should give us a gift so fabulous? ----------------------------------------------------------------- Christmas Is A Time To Rejoice Christmas is a time to rejoice! For the Savour of the World has come, In human flesh He’s dressed, His message home to press, That a way has been opened up For the bridge to be rebuilt So GOD with man can now reside Forever and ever. AMEN --------------------------------------------------- UNDER ONE STABLE ROOF The shops are full of goodies, Christmas is coming. In all the major towns and cities, Christmas is coming. Come and buy, come and buy, Is heard from far and wide. We have what you're looking for, All under one roof! There are Big green wellies And brand new telies, Pots and pans and even smellies. Roll up! Roll up! Come and buy come and try, For Christmas is coming. All under one roof the TV ad men say. Everything you’ll ever need. Let us show you the way. Why wear yourself into the ground? When all you need in our shop can be found, Come and buy! Come and try! We're the best there is around. All under one stable roof the gift from GOD was found. That first Christmas, in Bethlehem, His love did abound, Jesus GOD's only son became like one of us, A defenceless little baby, because He knew He must. Come and see, Come and see, He’s worthy of all our trust. Jesus is forever, Not just for Christmas, Jesus loves us all year round, Not just at Christmas, Xmas is coming. It’s quicker to write it that way, Doesn’t matter that Christ is crossed out of Christmas, We like it that way. ![]()
