Jesus knew from eternity,
Long before time on earth began,
That to ransom His dearly loved children,
He would have to become fully Man,
Long before sin came to plague mankind,
Before Satan tempted Adam and Eve,
Jesus knew He would have to descend from His throne,
And suffer for those who believe,
So the God-Man Jesus the Servant King,
Laid His full weight of glory aside,
That man would not live forever in sin,
Nor in shame and fear cower and hide.
Mark Tinjum- 2017
He knew He would have to take,
Our wretchedness and sin,
Upon His sinless body,
So that we could enter in,
To His Father’s holy presence,
So He gave us day for night,
And let darkness fall upon Himself,
So that we could be clothed with His light.
Mark Tinjum – 2016
If we truly search the depths of our hearts,
We would realize we’re orphans one and all,
Separated from a kind, loving Father,
By the brutal nightmare called the Fall.
But God made a way back to His heart and His side,
Opened wide heaven’s welcoming door,
And the curse we call the Fall of man,
Through His Son is reversed evermore.
Mark Tinjum. – 2017
So many live as captives to fear,
In a broken world that needs to hear,
That God is with them and God is near,
He is Emmanuel.
For this world is dying we can see its decay,
But we can change someone’s night to day,
All it takes is for us to be bold and say,
He is Emmanuel.
For God so loved the world of mankind,
That He came down from heaven to seek, save and find,
And now God and man are forever entwined,
He is Emmanuel.
For He died, rose again and now reigns on high,
Believe even though it’s a mystery why,
Christ would suffer the cross and for sinners would die,
To be Emmanuel.
Mark Tinjum – 2016
If I live I live to Christ,
If I die Christ I gain,
And when I see Him face to face,
He’ll erase my tears and pain.
Mark Tinjum – 2015
We don’t need lightning bolt flashes of truth,
But God’s Word to enlighten our way,
For His Word is a lamp and light to our path,
To keep us from going astray,
We don’t need to hear things novel and new,
To tickle our itching ear,
But Jesus, His life, death and rising again,
It’s the gospel of Christ we must hear.
Mark Tinjum – 2016
Need
You are good
In every way
In thought
In word
In deed
And when we love
And follow You
You satisfy
Our need.
Need Met
Nothing is beyond You,
Nothing is above,
You met us in our deep, dark need,
And died to show Your love.
Mark Tinjum – 2016
