HE DIED FOR ALL…WILL YOU BELIEVE?

–

All fall short of the glory of God,

But people think it odd

That Jesus chose to die

And they wonder why?

–

Most think they are good enough,

Or work it out to call God’s bluff…

Thinking God is JUST LIKE THEM…

Just a human.

–

How can God explain

What is worlds beyond what we contain…

An infinite Mind…

That is kind.

–

The Heavenly Father planned

Reconnecting with mortal Man…

Living in one of us

To show God’s mercy thus.

–

Our God chose developing

Gradually to do His thing…

Lessons learned:

Salvation isn’t earned!

–

But a big part of the story,

We don’t understand “HOLY”…

Totally without any sin,

Who then has none within?

–

Only one, human logic thinks odd,

A Man—who is God…

Holiness in flesh,

The One time it will mesh!

–

He first came for Hebrews,

As the Holy One bringing good news…

Then Gentiles…

On they too, god smiles!

–

For every gift there is cost:

For a moment Christ was tossed…

His Father wouldn’t look on sin…

Which for us, Jesus became.

–

Crucifixion, suffering, death…

He chose that on our behalf,

That whoever will believe in Him

And what He did…is cleansed of sin.

–

There always is a choice for us,

That’s why all this fuss

Over a Man who chose to die–

Resurrected bye-and-bye!

–

Choose Him and be blessed,

There’s no time for delay and jest…

He did it all for you—

Clothed in Him, you’ll be made holy, too!
