THE LAMB
The Father said unto the Lamb
“A servant you must be”
The Lamb responded, “Yes, I know”
“Some day they will kill me!”
The Father said unto the Lamb
“This pain you’ll surely bare”
The Lamb responded, “Yes, I will”
“Because I know you care!”
The Father said unto the Lamb
“You’ll never be alone”
The Lamb responded, “Yes, it’s true”
“I’ll long to be back home!”
The Father said unto the Lamb
“You’ll be back soon enough”
The Lamb responded, “Yes, I know”
“To go will sure be tough!”
“So go now Lamb”, the Father said
“There is so much to do”
The Lamb responded, “Yes, I will”
“Because I love them too!”
John 3:16 “For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. (NIV)
‘Twas the night before Easter
‘Twas the night before Easter on Internet Lane;
From New York, to Russia, spring Holidaze reigned!
Computers were linking from Disney to space;
And folks were resolving the Easter Egg case!
The kids were entranced by a techno-theme,
While visions of dinos appeared on the screen!
And Mom dyed the eggs, while I searched the Net,
For flowers to send her–or in trouble I’d get!!
When swiftly, my Mac began such a clatter,
The mouse shrieked in horror, “MS Explorer”, what’s the matter!”
Away to my window, I jumped with great speed;
A break for sore eyes, I surely did need!
I saw flowers of spring beginning to bloom,
I welcomed the view from my computer room!
When what to my wondering eyes, did I see,
But a Stranger stooped low, on bended knee.
With a quick glance I knew ’twas a backflash of time,
I envisioned the form of my Savior Divine.
More rapid than eagles, my memory raced,
To another time and another place.
Where Christ, Lord of all, called each one by name–
“Follow Me,” was His Word, and they willingly came.
They watched Him perform deeds of wondrous love;
They knew His power came from God above.
Yet we (you and me, folks!) just led him to die;
In the dark of a tomb our Savior did lie.
But then in another flash of great power,
I saw Him arise–death conquered that hour!
He was robed all in white, with radiant glow;
He stood in great splendor, this Savior I know.
His eyes with loving compassion shown,
I knew in that moment I need ne’er be alone.
His hands were outstretched as this One bid me come;
The work of redemption forever done.
I stood there in silence, in humble awe,
As the Reason of Easter I now clearly saw.
Then quickly as the scenes had appeared,
They faded–I felt not one moment of fear.
I bowed low in worship; earth’s sight now so dim;
I had seen Easter’s meaning; I had been there with Him.
As I saw Him, with faith’s eyes, lifted above,
The night before Easter was filled with pure love.
And I heard him exclaim as He rose out of sight,
“A Blessed Easter to all! I have conquered your night!”
