Messiah
I see the morning sunshine coming through the window shear
Reminding me of Son shine that is soon to meet me here
To spend this time together as we two become as one
I the lost sheep of Israel and Christ the Father's Son
For many years I've wandered wond'ring Who Messiah was
And why this One called Jesus Christ had mustered so much fuss
Until one day I met Him on a path with no return
And from that very moment all the history I did learn
Of how Messiah led us as a people from the sin
Of Egypt in that foreign land beneath the heal of men
Who worshipped at the idols of the gods they did not know
Were only lifeless shadows of the evil they would sow
Inspired by the devil and the evil ones with him
Whose purpose was to take away God's image made in them
And mix them with the creatures and the other things of earth
Absorbed in senseless pleasures with their merriment and mirth
That to this day are manifest in those who know not God
Who think in their own foolishness they rule the path they trod
Not knowing if not Jesus then the devil rules their way
And puts his own description on the things they do and say
And sorely as I pondered how my people'd gone astray
I realized the more we walked in doubt the other way
We left the One Who called us from no people as His own
And like the Roman army placed our seal upon the stone
That tried with futile effort to control the hand of God
Denying that True Shepherd Who with perfect staff and rod
Had tried to lead His people through their light and life in Him
To live as testimony of the One True God in them
And that if we'd surrender our imagined platitudes
To God's One blessed Messiah with a grateful attitude
He still could make His people lights of Truth for all the earth
As one by one this people would join Gentiles in rebirth
That when Christ comes in glory with His angels all around
We as His chosen people once again will then be found
To revel in salvation once entrusted for the lost
To be our own salvation that we nailed upon the cross
Exodus 20:1-2; Daniel 9:25-27; John 1:35-51; Romans 2:10-11
