Ascension Day

Ascension Day 


The risen Lord Jesus Ascended
The clouds carried Him to the heavenly abode
The disciples hold onto the promises
The Holy Spirit to come
Jesus continually for us interceding
For us a place preparing
One day will return to take us home
What a great hope we have

Areopagus message to Athens, to all

Areopagus message to Athens, to all


Paul in Athens
His spirit provoked
at the idol-filled city
What does this babbler wish to say
the real babblers begged
To Areopagus he was dragged
From his heart the truth was spilled
the day to repent draweth near
God in heaven you must fear
God, the maker of heaven and earth
Not living in any man-made temple
Not served by human hands
not needing anything
But the giver to humankind
the breath in their lungs
The time and area to reside
and put in their hearts
the will to seek God
and be found by Him
that His praise they should sing
We are His offspring
But still human and not divine
Ignorant times were overlooked
But now the command is loud and clear
to all far and near
Repent
Judgement is coming by Messiah
Assurance of this we have
His Resurrection from the dead
Some listeners to his message believed
Do you? 




(Acts 17:16-34)

There is a God

There is a God

There is a God
Holy. Eternal. Perfect. Sinless.
No sinner can be in His presence.
He gave the solution
For these mere mortals
by sin polluted.

A sacrifice
A Lamb, Perfect and Unblemished
For forgiveness
Blood must be shed
No-one can ever pay this price

But God....

Had grace
He send his Lamb
to pay our price
only His Lamb could suffice
to pay the high price
He still gives grace
to prodigal sons and daughters today
Come to Him, I pray
All you do, is fall on your knee
and for His grace plea
and from your sins you will be free
but now from sin you must flee
and for this He gives the power and grace too.
