From the Heart of A Servant

A Tribute to My Wonderful Lord and King by C. R. Lord

 

This poem was deliberately arranged so that each verse and each line in each verse began with a letter of Jesus' name.  It was part inspiration and part perspiration. 

 

JESUS

February 6, 1986

Justice demanded death for sinful man

Judgment was sure so God devised a plan

Joyous the news rang out for all to hear

Jesus has come, fear not, be of good cheer.

 

Eagerly shepherds ran to seek this child

Entering in they saw Him meek and mild

Excellent glory they began to tell

Everywhere speaking of Emanuel.

 

Shepherds in joy returning to their sheep

Sweet baby Jesus quietly asleep

Shining angelic choirs tell of God's love

Stars burning brightly in the sky above.

 

Unworthy man has since that day received

Untold rich blessings when they truly believed

Unctionized truth about the blessed One

Unmeasured love displayed in God's own Son.

 

Shout! so the entire world may hear and see

Salvation offered - blessed, full and free.

So many walk in darkness yet today

Show them the Saviour ere they pass away.

 

C. R. Lord
