Serenading the King

By

In God's Glory, love, Praise and Worship, Salvation

Born of a virgin in a borrowed stall,
No earthly advantage at birth,
Lowly Shepherds greeted the infant King,
When the Holy One came to earth.

But angels marveled as God became flesh,
Serenading the newly born King.
As Jesus took His first full breath,
The heavens of heavens would ring.

For the heavenly host could not contain,
The wonder and joy of the news,
The Child asleep in a manger that night,
Was Messiah and King of the Jews.

MT 2021

Luke 2:11  For there is born to you this day in the city of David a Savior, who is Christ the Lord. 

Luke 2:13  And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God and saying: 
Luke 2:14 “Glory to God in the highest, And on earth peace, goodwill toward men!”

In Righteousness, Salvation, Victory

For many years
I lived under God’s wrath,
Then I met Jesus Christ
And He showed me the path,
From the road to perdition
To the streets of gold,
And in the book of life
My name is enrolled.

NKJV
1Th 5:9  For God did not appoint us to wrath, but to obtain salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ,

In God's Glory, Grace, love, Praise and Worship

I see Your beautiful handiwork
In Your glorious diverse creation
And Your amazing love and abundant grace
In Your wonderful gift of salvation
And one day all will praise Your name
Every tribe, tongue, people and nation
So may we be ready at the trumpet sound
Filled with faith, hope and great expectation.

MT 2021

NKJV
1Pe 1:20  He indeed was foreordained before the foundation of the world, but was manifest in these last times for you 
1Pe 1:21  who through Him believe in God, who raised Him from the dead and gave Him glory, so that your faith and hope are in God.

In Grace, Peace, Salvation, Victory

Man of Sorrows
Well-acquainted with grief
Sinless and faultless
Yet condemned like a thief.

Changed human history
Though His time on earth brief
Mends broken hearts
From sin brings relief.

MT 2021

NKJV 1Co 15:56  The sting of death is sin, and the strength of sin is the law. 
1Co 15:57  But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ. 

Checkmate

In God's Glory, God's Power, Victory

Sometimes I wish I was something more,
Like a rook or bishop or knight,
A piece that strikes fear in the enemies heart,
One that puts the enemy to flight.

But God calls both the high and low,
To do battle in the cosmic fight,
And now I see in Gods economy,
My wishes are not quite right.

For God can use the lowliest piece,
As an instrument of His eternal plan,
For He meets every move and counter-move,
And the board is in God’s mighty hand.

For the Lord is the great and true Mastermind,
Satan’s schemes the King can frustrate,
For He can use the lowly pawn,
To perfect His eternal checkmate.

MT 2021

Rev 17:14  These will make war with the Lamb, and the Lamb will overcome them, for He is Lord of lords and King of kings; and those who are with Him are called, chosen, and faithful.”

True One

In God's Glory, Peace, The Word

Shining in deepest darkness,
Piercing through darkest night,
Jesus the King of glory,
Jesus the Lord of light.

Jesus the Alpha-Omega,
Jesus the true God-Man,
Jesus the Lion of Judah,
Who arose out of Israel’s clan.

Jesus God’s One and Only,
Jesus God’s holy Son,
Jesus the Kinsman Redeemer,
Who makes Jew and Gentile one.

MT 2021

Joh 1:9  That was the true Light which gives light to every man coming into the world.  [1:10] He was in the world, and the world was made through Him, and the world did not know Him.

Luk 2:32  A light to bring revelation to the Gentiles, And the glory of Your people Israel.”
