THE CROWN, THE CRIB and THE CROSS: Sing The Song!!

Christ Laid Down His Crown
AND
In A Manger
In Bethlehem
- The House Of Bread-
As A Babe
He Was Laid Down
BUT
According To The Plan

AND

To Get Back To His Crown
He Would Carry The Cursed Cross
So That Whosoever Will
To Him

- The Bread Of Life -
May Come
So As Not To Be
Forever Lost!

The Author Of Life
- To Destroy Demonic Devising -
Offered Up His Life For The Lost
Upon Calvary's Cross
BUT
That Life Was Not Taken!
It Was Given Freely Of Himself

AND
It Was By Himself
Poured Out
AND
In The Appointed Day
The Believing People
- In Awe -
Did Say:

He Is Risen!

He Is Risen!

The Stone Rolled Away!

The Master Spoke Truth!

Life!

We Shall See Jesus!

Let's Proclaim It Everywhere!

Jesus Christ The Risen
Was Seen
AND
Was By Living Man Touched!
He Ate Bread With The Brethren

AND
Sin's Hold
No Longer Had The Killing Touch
AND
All
Who Believe
AND
The Risen Christ Receive
Shall Share
In The Joy Of Their Lord

Now

AND

In The Glory Of Their Lord

Later
When They
- To Heaven -
From Earth
Leave!

The Shall Know God's Grace-Filled Favor!

From A Crown
To A Crib

AND
Back
To Take Up The Kingdom's Crown

The Baby Picture

The Baby Picture

Today I saw a photo of a Baby

His brains - like cottage cheese - were falling out

He was surely worse for wear

Since his mama pushed him out

This baby's crime it was confessed

Was that he was the child of a Christian

His killing was a message sent

To those upon whom their blade could be bent!

I ask you fair, I tell you proud

The message was received e'er loud

The only purpose it served you see

Was to harden my resolve to with King Jesus be!

What purpose have I to live?

What reason have I to love

When those who would dictate my pace

Want my soul to be their slave?

Listen well, I tell you true

I'll only be a slave to the One who

Gave His life to ransom mine

That's JESUS CHRIST, the Lord Divine!!

So If your Soul IS enslaved to Satan

You chose your lot – I have chosen mine!

My Lord and my Almighty God

Is coming very soon, triumphantly

His ransomed children to take take home

Forever safe, no more to roam!

We'll live in mansions bright and fair

Wearing the bright crowns that Jesus promised

On heads immortal, ever young, ever strong

Singing Redemption's Song in the Gathered throng!

So do your worse for that's your best

You cannot a saint's soul distress

You may our bodies burn, oh yes

But victory is the crown we've earned I must stress!

Oh Calvary, Mount Zion strong

Sing out loud our battle song

Saints dead long, saints alive and strong

Praise our God

We're to Glory bound!

VICTORY IN JESUS!!
