OUR SAVIOR


 Thank you, Lord Jesus,
 For your unfailing love, 
 As you looked through
 The corridors of time,

 And saw Calvary’s Cross
 And the pain You’d endure,
 And the suffering 
 That should have been mine.

 Your love bound you securely 
 To God’s plan for mankind.
 Your pure Blood,
 Shed for one and for all.

 Your innocent eyes
 Beheld the horrors of that day.
 In your obedience,
 You answered God’s Call.

 Your life for our pardon,
 Your Blood for our sin,
 Your will to die,
 That our will could be free.

 You thought of us,
 As the joy set before You.
 You are the Justifier 
 Of those who would believe.

 Your resurrection from the dead,
 Stands out in Your Word,
 As the event that changed history, 
 For all time.

 You were born. You preached truth,
 You were killed.  You were raised.
 You live on,
 Our intercessor, Divine.

 If you don’t know Jesus as Lord and Savior, would you consider all He has done for mankind?  Would you believe that God raised Him from the dead and ask Him to save you?  You will never regret it, for all eternity.

His Favorite: Thoughts From the Back of a Motorcycle

Lord, what must Your 
Favorite color be?
I so often ponder that. 
For the wonderful world
You have made for mankind
Is a most exquisite habitat. 

Is your favorite color, cornflower blue,
Like the lovely fall skies above
Or the blue of the deep, dark
Ocean at noon, 
Or the pale eyes of the children you love?

Could your favorite color be 
The mid-summer green,
Of the mountains all covered in trees,
Or the deep, dark shadows cast in Fall,
When the colors change in the leaves?

Is pink the color that
Captured your heart, 
Like the horizon 
At the close of day,
Like the tiny flowers that 
Blanket the fields,
Where the breeze blows
And the butterflies play?

No matter the color,
That pleases you most, 
I am thankful for one and for all.
For Your radiant glory
Is abundantly seen,
Throughout this diversely, beautiful
Celestial ball!
