Pages From God's Salvation Book
He came because the gulf was wide
Between man and his creator;
A bridge was needed to span that chasm
So the Father could hold us to His breast.
He came in an immaculate way
And lay upon a bed of hay, surrounded
By shepherds, angels, animals and some
Who brought gifts to the Giver of Life.
As the young lad continued to grow
A few around Him began to know
That something special dwelt within
The meek and lowly carpenter’s son.
He walked, He talked, healed and loved;
And all who would open the door to
Their heart, He entered with the greatest
Gift from His Father’s house above.
Many could not bear to hear
The message He spoke so plain and clear
All regarding a second birth and a
Turning away from the vice grips of sin.
Oh, Dear God! How He did agonize
That I might become immunized
From the fiery darts that Satan hurls
As I travel the road to my perfect home.
Because of sin He was lifted up
But cold clay could not hold Him down;
He rose in victory to accept a crown
And sit on an everlasting throne.
Now the job is done, the mission complete,
And I gladly fall at His nail-scarred feet
For becoming the bridge across the divide
Allowing safe passage to my eternal home!
