The Word Of The Lord! Poem by Denis Martindale

In ancient days, men prophesied,
Declaring all God shared,
Proclaiming Christ as crucified,
The Lamb of God prepared...
Both King and slave to serve God's will,
Good shepherd, spotless lamb,
The preacher blessed with words to thrill
From 'I AM THAT I AM'...

King David and King Solomon
Were well-versed in God's ways,
Until their lives had come and gone,
Despite their words of praise...
Yet what of Christ, must He die, too?
Yes, this had been foretold!
Though He was sinless through and through,
His Blood worth more than gold...

His name is Jesus, for He lives,
As risen from the dead!
And it's through Him that God forgives,
Saved by the Blood He bled...
That's why the Holy Bible's blessed
With power from above,
For it proclaims God's very best,
He's called the King of Love...

And so, it's up to us to choose,
God's pardon to allow,
Or else reject the Lord's Good News,
God's blessings here and now...
The only reason I believed
Was that Christ died for me,
That was the day that I received
The truth that set me free...
