Salvation Stanzas, Reasons and Rhymes

allHis - because it is!

at the foot of the cross

Banquet Hall

I am all too painfully aware,
Of what Jesus has saved me from,
And altogether stand amazed,
At His glorious kingdom to come,

For on the cross Christ took away,
My sin- the entire sum,
And now welcomes me into His banquet hall,
When I only expected a crumb.

MT 2022

Mat 15:27  And she said, “Yes, Lord, yet even the little dogs eat the crumbs which fall from their masters’ table.” 
Mat 15:28  Then Jesus answered and said to her, “O woman, great is your faith! Let it be to you as you desire.” And her daughter was healed from that very hour.

Lost Found

He did not come for the righteous,
But calls sinners to repent,
For Christ came to seek and save lost,
To reclaim wayward sheep He was sent.

For we all need His grace and forgiveness,
And His power and might to defend,
Along with His tender mercies and love,
So in Christ you can trust and depend

MT 2022

Luk 19:10  for the Son of Man has come to seek and to save that which was lost.

Gospel

We are called proclaim,
The gospel of peace,
To give light to the blind,
And to prisoners release,
By Christ’s dying breath,
Death’s sting would cease,
For Jesus Christ is the gospel,
Heaven’s true centerpiece.

MT 2022

Luk 4:18  “THE SPIRIT OF THE LORD IS UPON ME, BECAUSE HE HAS ANOINTED ME TO PREACH THE GOSPEL TO THE POOR; HE HAS SENT ME TO HEAL THE BROKENHEARTED, TO PROCLAIM LIBERTY TO THE CAPTIVES AND RECOVERY OF SIGHT TO THE BLIND, TO SET AT LIBERTY THOSE WHO ARE OPPRESSED;

How

How many times does God have to say,
That He loves you with all His heart,
For He gave His one and only Son,
To give sinners a brand new start,
And what greater way could Jesus make known,
The depth of His love and His grace,
Than by His atoning sacrifice,
When He went to the cross in our place.

MT 2022

1 Ch 17:19  O LORD, for Your servant’s sake, and according to Your own heart, You have done all this greatness, in making known all these great things.

Night Light

You walk by our side,
Through the darkest night,
Your brilliance makes,
The darkness take flight,
All You ask is to trust,
In Your Spirit not sight,
And You promise You’ll make,
Our darkest night light.

MT 2022

Joh 8:12  Then Jesus spoke to them again, saying, “I am the light of the world. He who follows Me shall not walk in darkness, but have the light of life.” 

Psa 139:11  If I say, “Surely the darkness shall fall on me,” Even the night shall be light about me; 

His Presence

Undeserved mercy,
Unbelievable grace,
Have met together,
In one holy place,

At the cross of Christ,
Where God suffered and died,
The grave is now empty,
And death is denied,

For sinners now welcomed,
To Christ’s wedding feast,
From the richest to poorest,
From the greatest to least,

At His table is joy,
And His love will not fail,
For His anthem is peace,
That will ever prevail.

MT 2022

Psa 16:11  You will show me the path of life; In Your presence is fullness of joy; At Your right hand are pleasures forevermore. 

Exo 33:14  And He said, “My Presence will go with you, and I will give you rest.” 

Steadfast

In joy and sorrow,
In pleasure and pain,
In sunshine and dark night,
In blue skies and rain,
In poverty and riches,
In losses and gains,
Jesus Christ remains steadfast,
His love never wanes.

MT 2022

Joh 16:33  These things I have spoken to you, that in Me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world.”
