Today... 'Dear Son' Poem by Roy Allen

Today... 'Dear Son'



From the power and dominion of darkness I'm set free
for the Dearly Belovèd Son of God has died for me.
No longer am I bound by the wretched shackles of sin
but I'm strengthened by the power of God flowing within.

Being redeemed and forgiven by His great sacrifice
I've been translated into the kingdom of Jesus Christ.
So I give thanks to the Father who has qualified me
to share the inheritance of the saints eternally.

Delivered from the awful power of darkness are we
transformed by the Spirit into Christ's image we will be.
We are saints in the kingdom of the light of His Dear Son
by His sacrifice we have forgiveness and redemption.

As we now grow in Him and bear good fruit every day
seeking always to please the Dear Son in every way.
Satan has no longer any claim upon you or me
because our Lord Jesus has paid the price and set us free.

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
Colossians 1: 10-14
And we pray this in order that you may live a life worthy of the Lord and may please him in every way: bearing fruit in every good work, growing in the knowledge of God, being strengthened with all power according to his glorious might so that you may have great endurance and patience, and joyfully giving thanks to the Father, who has qualified you to share in the inheritance of the saints in the kingdom of light. For he has rescued us from the dominion of darkness and brought us into the kingdom of his dear Son, in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins.

All quotations ©NIV

The Bible calls You by many names
each one giving a glimpse of Your glory.
Like a cut diamond radiating in the sun
with every facet depicting an aspect
of Your Divine Nature.
Today I have thought of You as
'The Dear Son'
