Three Messages
Three messages of great import the world must here today
Three messages to keep God's children in the narrow Way
Three messages that will endure until Christ comes again
To cleanse this world of every spot of selfishness and sin
Three messages that will not fail throughout eternity
That will endure to be proclaimed into infinity
Three messages for which Christ died upon that cruel cross
To save His precious followers from suffering that loss
That will last for eternity for those who choose to face
The future judgement before God without His loving grace
Available to all who will to follow Him today
To set aside the things they've learned that block His perfect Way
From showing them His blessing in His Sabbath every week
The Sabbath that embodies Him for Whom the sinner seeks
That is His Day of holiness the scriptures never changed
The structure of creation week He will not rearrange
For in His Sabbath we can find the meaning in His Word
As on that day that He has blessed His Spirit can be heard
More clearly than all other days that work is to be done
In preparation for His Sabbath when we meet His Son
And then there is the issue of what happens when we die
Do we ascend into the heights or in the dark grave lie
Until the Resurrection when the voice of Christ is heard
Declaring death's been done away for those who knew His Word
And followed it precisely to the letter of His Law
Because of love that held them by His grace through faith in awe
Of all He's done and doing in His temple up above
Within His sanctuary where He demonstrates His love
Through worship and through Sacrifice where all our sins are laid
Upon the Lamb of Jesus Christ Who for them all once paid
And is today still offering before the Father's throne
His blood that makes the penitent the ones He calls His own
And soon He will be gathering to be as one with Him
As they perceive the precious grace His love's provided them
And set their minds to follow Him wherever He may go
As they like Him purvey the Truth today the world must know
Exodus 31:12-18; Ecclesiastes 9:5-6; John 11:24-25; Psalm 77:11-13; Hebrews 8:1-2
