Salvation Stanzas, Reasons and Rhymes

allHis - because it is!

at the foot of the cross

My Boast

Sometimes I feel like Gideon,
Facing off against a wicked host,
But the thing I take solace and comfort in,
Jesus Christ is my strength and my boast.

MT 2021

2Co 12:9  And He said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for My strength is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore most gladly I will rather boast in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me.

Appearance

Some think the party is here and now,
We should live to the fullest down here,
While I think God gave us this world to enjoy,
Truest joy comes when Christ shall appear.

MT 2021

Col 3:1  If then you were raised with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ is, sitting at the right hand of God.

Col 3:4  When Christ who is our life appears, then you also will appear with Him in glory. 

Living Stones

We’re being built up a spiritual house,
An abode that is fit for the King,
And we can build it stronger each day,
By the praise and worship that we bring,
May your house be a beautiful place of peace,
Fit for heaven’s High King to enter,
May it be filled with love and every good fruit,
With the throne of Christ in the center.

MT 2020

NKJV 1Pe 2:5 
you also, as living stones, are being built up a spiritual house, a holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ. 

Rest and Rely

While it may not be very popular,
And will cut to the heart as well,
I believe Christ died on a cross
To save us from sin, death and hell.
I also believe He rose from the grave,
And in glory now reigns on high,
That His word is eternal and absolute,
On these truths I can rest and rely.

MT – 2020

NKJV Act 2:37-38
[37] Now when they heard this, they were cut to the heart, and said to Peter and the rest of the apostles, “Men and brethren, what shall we do?” [38]  Then Peter said to them, “Repent, and let every one of you be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins; and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. 

Tender Counselor

God’s Sovereign right hand,
Rules in earth, sea and sky,
While that same tender hand,
Wipes each tear that we cry,
We may not understand,
The how, what, when and why,
But His will will be done,
Here and now, by and by.

MT – 2020

NKJV Psa 33:10-11 
[10] The LORD brings the counsel of the nations to nothing; He makes the plans of the peoples of no effect. [11]  The counsel of the LORD stands forever, The plans of His heart to all generations.

Trinity Love

The High and Lofty,
Has set apart,
The humble in spirit,
And the contrite in heart,
And gives eternal salvation,
To those who bend their knee,
To the God of heaven,
Three in One, One in Three.

MT- 2020

NKJV Isa 57:15 

For thus says the High and Lofty One Who inhabits eternity, whose name is Holy: “I dwell in the high and holy place, With him who has a contrite and humble spirit, To revive the spirit of the humble, And to revive the heart of the contrite ones. 

Humble Fool

I take it as a badge of honor,
To suffer reproach for His name,
For I believe every word He says,
Every promise, command and claim.

While His words may not be in fashion,
And many might think them uncool,
It rather be true to the word of Christ,
And be thought a humble fool.

MT 2020

1Co 1:18  NKJV
For the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God.
