A meek and mild child in a manger,
Reconciled to God the enemy and stranger,
By humble beginning and in lowly birth,
God’s priceless gift came down to bless earth.
As angels announced the glorious news,
And prophesies tied together the clues,
The One to come would be Savior God King,
A foretaste of heaven- peace on earth He would bring!
Mark Tinjum – 2016
I so often think
If I do ABC
Then God is obliged
To do XYZ
By His loving rebuke
I can now clearly see
Such thoughts are wrong
Borderline blasphemy
For Christ did it all
When He walked Calvary’s road
And gave grace as a gift
That is freely bestowed
Mark Tinjum – 2016
When this present world so tainted by sin,
Is gathered and swept away,
Along with this cruel world system,
Held in Satan’s venomous sway,
Then these lowly bodies will be raised to new life,
Made no longer of dust and clay,
And we’ll shine as brightly as lightning on high,
On that glorious redemption day!
Mark Tinjum – 2016
So often I seek the approval of men,
Instead of an audience of One,
The Christ who heals broken hearts and lives,
And everything under the sun.
So often I seek the acceptance of man,
To fill the deep need of my soul,
But relying on what men say about me,
In the end take a heavy toll.
But Christ calls to tired and weary ones,
“Come to Me I will give your soul rest,”
“My child it is I who fashioned your heart,”
“And I know you and love you the best.”
“For I am gentle and lowly in heart,
On Me you can cast all your care,”
“I will be your Wonderful Counselor,
Who will love you and always be there.”
Mark Tinjum – 2015
It’s not just the astonishing number of stars,
But the vastness of distance between,
That leads me to bow down and worship in awe,
Before Lord God Almighty unseen.
Mark Tinjum – 2015
Authority
When we abide in the Lord Jesus Christ,
We can speak with the utmost authority,
And when we stand fast in His Holy Word,
One plus God is a landslide majority.
Light in the Shadow
Identify the enemy’s lie,
A good friend said to me,
Bring it captive to Jesus Christ,
And His truth shall set you free.
See the darkness- flee the darkness,
Run to the light instead,
Abide in the shadow of Calvary’s cross,
Where God’s precious blood was shed.
Mark Tinjum – 2016
Our Great God and Savior
Walked Mount Calvary alone
Knowing only His blood
Could fully atone
For mankind’s high treason
And the sins of all men
And to make a straight path
To the Father again.
Mark Tinjum – 2016
