A POEM…THE SEASON

The month of December

Is filled with good cheer

Taking time to remember

Our Savior’s birth this year

There are lots of things to do

To get us all prepared

With the manger scene in view

No expenses will be spared

The joy is so contagious

It spreads through out the air

And people seem more gracious

And more willingly to share

All of that is well and good

But why just for a season

Keep it with us as we should

To last all year is the reason

Let’s celebrate Jesus’s birth

Today and the whole year through

Remembering He came to earth

The gospel it is true

His birth, death, and resurrection

The purpose for His life on earth

To pay the price for man’s salvation

To be the author of our rebirth

God’s prophecy manifested

To us on Christmas Day

Our salvation, to Him entrusted

He came to show the way

So let’s keep this joy alive

Through out the coming year

Know that if we try

We can keep the season here

A SONG…IT’S NOT BY CHANCE

(verse 1)

From a seed, a tiny seed

Oh how could this thing be

That after just a little while

A baby it would come to be

From a seed, just one seed

Oh how could this thing be

That as the months and years go by

That seed would be a tree

(chorus)

How do these things just come about

It’s not by chance, I have no doubts

There is a higher power here

Can’t you see, He’s very near

There is a God, He reigns on high

There is a God, and He is nigh

He made the heavens and the earth

He spoke and made the universe

No, our existence is not by chance

Our life the love of God enhance

(verse 2)

The sun will rise and set each day

Why is that, what makes it so

Days they all turn into nights

And nights back into days they go

The earth moves ’round and ’round the sun

And makes the seasons change

It does not happen by mistake

It’s all been pre-arranged

(chorus)

(verse 3)

God sent His Son to die

A ransom for us all

If you want the blessed life

Then on Jesus’ name just call

You can not see Him with the naked eye

He is not a fake, He is not a lie

There is evidence of Him for our sake

And to understand, faith is all it takes

(chorus)

(verse 4)

The things we see and touch are real

We live our lives on what we feel

But there is more than meets the eye

It’s Heaven or Hell when you die

These are places for our spiritual souls

Where will you go when God calls the roll

Things don’t just happen by accident

Plans were made before the events

(chorus)

…………………(John 1: 1-5)

A POEM…SHARE THE WORD

Jesus is Lord of all creation

Share His word with every nation

The Bible tells us about His story

Tell someone you meet about His glory

He is the same from day to day

Let His light shine to show you the way

He is the shepherd, the shepherd good

Share Him around your neighborhood

Take His word from door to door

Don’t keep Him to yourself, share Him more

Just as He is there for you

Show His love to someone new

Jesus gave His life for many

Laborers are few, but the harvest plenty

So we must go out and do our share

To spread God’s word from here to there

We know not whom we may reach

When the Good News we begin to teach

For God gave us His only Son

To save all people, not just one

Take Jesus with you where ever you go

That through your life the world will know

Jesus is alive and He lives in you

All who come to Him will be made new

So share the Word each and every day

Give others hope and together pray

They come to know Jesus this very day

A POEM…THE BIRTH OF OUR SAVIOR

The birth of our Savior was like no other birth

A part of the Triune God would now be born on earth

He would be one-hundred percent God and one-hundred percent man

And on the Laws of God, it was only He that could stand

His birth would be exceptional, for His mother knew no man

The Holy Spirit came to her, for it was at God’s command

The baby grew inside her womb as human babes all do

For Him to represent us, He must be human too

He was nurtured by His earthly parents, and grew to be a man

The purpose of His life, they would come to understand

For He grew up a human and all that it entails

And to fulfill His purpose, He lived through each detail

He fulfilled the Laws of God and became that perfect lamb

The ultimate sacrifice before the GREAT I AM

He paid a debt He did not owe to free us from our sins

We could not pay or break free from the sins we were drowning in

And so He gave His perfect life as a ransom for us all

He willingly laid down His life to restore us from the fall

He is the only Savior, the one way for salvation

All who will accept Him, will become a Holy Nation
