Today... 'God Manifest In The Flesh' Poem by Roy Allen

Almighty God manifest in the flesh is He
Fullness of the Godhead dwelling bodily.
He took on flesh and blood to become a man
as part of our Salvation's wonderful plan.

The immortal God took on humanity
limiting Himself to human frailty.
He Who flung stars and galaxies into space
came to live and dwell amongst the human race.

The reason God was manifest in the Flesh
was to pay the ransom for my sinfulness.
For the feet that walked where no other man could
were nailed to a rough and rugged cross of wood.

The voice that commanded the great storm to cease
cried out 'Father forgive them' and bought my peace.
The outstretched hands of the Lord Jesus Christ
were pierced by those cruel nails of sacrifice.

That my Lord and God should die for me
is an incomprehensible mystery.
For when Jesus wept it was God Who cried
and there upon the cross Jehovah died.

Beyond understanding is this Godliness
God the Almighty manifest in the flesh.
For in Jesus Christ I see the Godhead dwell.
He is the Lord, my God and Immanuel.
