We have a lot to post about. So much happens in December! But for lack of time, I will only post some Christmas poems.
For the first poem, I will provide a link, since I didn't write it. Mr. Mally wrote a poem about Christmas a couple years ago. I really like it! :) Here is the link: http://tomorrowsforefathers.com/gracenotes/?p=1417
The second poem I wrote.
What Great Love!
-Patience Normoyle
We all know the story – of Christ and His birth,
How God sent sweet Jesus to live here on Earth.
How He came and He lived, then He died and rose,
So in our poor hearts, His redemption would known.
We think and we sing of the same things each year,
Of Kings and wise men with big fluffy beards.
But, what if God’s mercy had no room to grow?
What if His dear heart was as hard as a stone?
What if His dear heart was as hard as a stone?
God could see our sin, and in anger and fury,
Seep us off Earth with a huff and a hurry!
But the God of the ages, our Creator and King,
Knew what was just, and what we would need.
God sent His Son in the form of a man,
Through Him was lived all salvation’s hard plan.
The punishment due us (like the “huff in a hurry”),
Was put onto Jesus, yes, all of God’s fury.
Jesus was God in the form of a man,
He hung on a tree to bear all sins of man.
For three whole days and three long nights,
He fought, and won, a great terrible fight.
Satan, who us would hate and destroy,
Was completely conquered – his power made void.
Jesus then rose, and one glorious day,
Appeared to the 12, then floated away.
Into the clouds, way up in the air,
Jesus went, and we’ll follow Him there.
Because of His mercy, compassion and Grace,
One day we’ll see our Savior, even face-to-face.
So this Christmas season, as you go about,
Praise the Lord for His power lived out.
His love and His mercy, His grace and His peace,
Praise that Christ conquered in glorious feat!
Humble your self – at the manger side bow.
Ask Jesus, “You love me? For what, and how?”
His response would be a wonderful “yes”,
“My love for you, to my power attests.
I can love because I am who I am, the Alpha, Omega, the great promised
Lamb.”
Respond with gratitude! Respond with love.
Love Christ, not only because He’s in heaven above,
But praise for who He was, is and will be.
A great love for all, and even for me.
A great love for all, and even for me.
