Salvation Stanzas, Reasons and Rhymes

The Babe

The Babe was born to an ordinary girl,

Who pondered things deep in her heart,

Trying her best to understand God’s plan,

And how she could fulfill her part.

The cold winter night welcomed the Babe,

And the wind softly whispered His name,

While the company of the heavenly host,

Proclaimed His great glory and fame,

For the Babe born in Bethlehem,

Is heaven and earth’s rightful Lord,

The King on a mission of mercy,

As the angels sang in accord.

For the Babe born of David’s line,

Brought grace and truth beyond measure,

The spotless, holy, Lamb of God 

Heaven’s priceless gift and treasure.

Luke 2:10-14 NKJV

[10] Then the angel said  to them, “Do not be afraid, for behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy which will be to all people. [11] For there is born to you this day in the city of David a Savior, who is Christ the Lord. [12] And this will be the sign to you: You will find a Babe wrapped in swaddling cloths, lying in a manger.” [13] And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God and saying: [14] “Glory to God in the highest, And on earth peace, goodwill toward men!”

On that first Resurrection Day,

When daylight started to dawn,

Mary saw the risen Savior,

When all hope appeared to be gone,

Then Peter and the one whom Jesus loved,

Ran to the tomb to see,

And found that it was empty,

Marveling at how it could be,

For Jesus fulfilled all prophesy,

Of Moses, prophet, and psalm,

And to all who believe and follow Him,

His resurrection is a healing balm.

MT 2026

John 11:25-26 NKJV

[25] Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in Me, though he may die, he shall live. [26] And whoever lives and believes in Me shall never die. Do you believe this?”

Who?

Who is this Man who rules nature?

Whom the wind and waves obey?

Who walks upon a raging sea?

Supernatural power on display,

Who is this Man who speaks a word?

And reverses death’s awful decay?

The One who leaves the ninety- nine,

To go after one sheep gone astray,

Who is this Man – love incarnate?

Who gave up His life that cruel day?

Who lived and died and rose again,

Mankind’s full sin debt to pay,

Who is this glorious Son of Man?

The truth, the life, and the way,

God’s precious and beloved Son,

Who is coming back someday!

MT 2026

Matthew 9:35-36 NKJV

[35] Then Jesus went about all the cities and villages, teaching in their synagogues, preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing every sickness and every disease among the people. [36] But when He saw the multitudes, He was moved with compassion for them, because they were weary and scattered, like sheep having no shepherd.

 

Christ praised her as an example,
Of one who loved well and loved much,
Her tears washing His dirty feet,
Hand caressing with innocent touch,
Then she poured out a fragrant offering,
Etched forever in the Bible’ s pages,
And what she did for the love of Christ
Will echo throughout endless ages.

MT 2023

Luk 7:38  and stood at His feet behind Him weeping; and she began to wash His feet with her tears, and wiped them with the hair of her head; and she kissed His feet and anointed them with the fragrant oil.

What if Jesus is truly the Christ,
Son of Man and Son of God,
And what if He truly is heaven’s High King,
Who humbly walked earthly sod?

What if angels and the heavenly host,
Worship Christ with one mind and accord,
Shouldn’t we also lift up our voice,
And give honor and praise to the Lord?

MT 2023

Mat 26:63  But Jesus kept silent. And the high priest answered and said to Him, “I put You under oath by the living God: Tell us if You are the Christ, the Son of God!” 
Mat 26:64  Jesus said to him, “It is as you said. Nevertheless, I say to you, hereafter you will see the Son of Man sitting at the right hand of the Power, and coming on the clouds of heaven.” 

He was born of the seed of David,
Of an earthly, kingly line,
While also eternally King of kings
Fully human and fully divine.

For heaven’s great Lord condescended,
Being born of a human birth,
To shower the world with grace and truth,
And bring salvation to the ends of the earth.

I AM…yesterday
