Lord,
You came to Earth a tiny baby,
that evil tried to find.
Though wisemen and shepherds knew,
where you were, evil lost his mind!
It caused a king to sacrifice
all boy babes in the land.
God knew before it all
and had another plan!
If Satan was all knowing
as he claims to be,
seems he would know where You were,
but his blinded mind could not see!
When Your time came for ministry,
You didn't advertise,
in fact You did the opposite,
unless people saw with their own eyes!
You knew just who to call
to follow You as brothers.
What joy it must have been for them
to see Your love for others!
You had feelings like any man,
You felt pain and joy
and even the sight Of Jerusalem
made You weep like a little boy.
You were thoughtful of others,
yet they pressed where ever You were found.
No matter where You were, Lord
They gathered all around!
Those who You healed,
Their hearts with joy overflowed
they never would forget
That day You made them whole,
The kindness You showed the woman
who reached out to touch Your hem.
She knew she could die,
but would never,live in shame again!
The lack of fear You displayed
when You drove the demons out.
Though he had been a maniac
He was free and gave a mighty shout!
The agony of Your heart
In the Garden of Gethsemane,
when the disciples failed,and
did not pray, but fell asleep!
The agony You suffered.
The selfless life You gave.
The pain You felt as Your mother's . . .
pain you could not save!
The loneliness You felt when
Your Father turned from the sin.
The relief You must have felt
when from Your body, Your life slid!
The triumph You arose with,
On that third morning, shown!
The connection with Your Father,
as You approached Your throne!
The grace You give to us,
To walk throughout our days,
and when the trumpet sounds,
into the sky we will raise!
