Ascension Poem by David Pass

The universe is running down
From when it once did start.
Here nothing lasts, what price renown
When stops the beating heart?

But heaven ‘s eternal - for all time -
And God is omnipresent.
Heaven is spotless - no dirt or grime,
From here His Son was sent.

In Israel his feet have trod.
Yes - he was fully man
But also He was one with God
What an amazing plan!

He told mankind about God's will
And paid the price of sin
His sacrifice is with us still
His grace we enter in

And then He rose up from the grave
And saw His friends again.
And then in Galilee He gave
New hope to trusting men

He stayed with them for forty days
Then time to go - and He
Was taken up before their gaze
He's there for you and me.

In Jerusalem at Pentecost
The Holy Spirit came
They were as one - no longer lost.
Peter spoke in Jesu's name

And so the Good News slowly spread,
The Gentiles heard it too.
Lord Jesus is alive not dead
Repent each one of you
