Redemption Song



Redemption Song


a lie was told
godhood the goal
no death know good from evil


Eve ate the fruit
Adam shared the loot
we're naked but oh, how we feel the knowledge!


garments once bright
lost that great light
excommunion … leave thou Eden's Garden!


thistle and thorn
raise wheat and corn
sacrifice a lamb so you have modest clothing


childbirth in pain
first son named Cain
tilled he the land his sacrifice was not accepted


Abel was type
always did right
sacrificed to God a lamb as was instructed


anger in Cain
killed Abel great shame
vagabond marked no one can ever kill him


so now you see
problems for you for me
original sin we need a savior


third child arrives
Seth by name survives
The Savior comes right down through his lineage



one glorious night
Bethlehem was starry bright
appeared Prince Immanuel the Light of the world


age 30 baptised
age 33 crucified
He'd preached salvation for you and for me


Christ died He arose
He's alive all is disclosed
Coming again for His children living in the Light


keep hope alive
live right and strive
for God's Kingdom coming and a home by and by



pray to the Lord
stay in His Word
He's coming soon He's even at the door


amen amen
amen again

His Kingdom come again and again AMEN **BJC**

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!!
