Keep in touch with Jesus,
See Him on the throne.
God the Father, stands by
While God the Son leaves home.
.
.
God the Son descending
Planet earth, His aim,
To live and die for sinners
Yes, that is why He came.
.
.
“I made those people,” God said
“It is true,” said the Son,
If not for Lucifer, they
Would be safe everyone!
.
.
“I will go. Assume sins wages.
I will die for their sins!”
Then God the Father trembled
The Heavens shook within!
.
.
Become human? Bad enough!
But to face Satan, too?
It is true. Jesus answered,
“This I will do!”
.
.
“Yes, I know,” said the Father,
As He sadly looked away!
Gabriel knew the enemy
And prepared for the fray!
.
.
An unseen shield was spread
Over Mother and Child!
The Holy Child grew safely
From all sin undefiled!
.
.
“Yes, I know you!” Satan smiled.
The wilderness was bleak.
Full forty days he had fasted
And sleepless, He was weak!
.
.
“Make bread of these stones,”
Devil growled, knew he was failing.
Tormented, Jesus cried out,
“Be done with this assailing!”
.
.
Jesus knew it was not over
The temptations would not end!
His last trick, crucifixion!
With this Christ must contend!
.
.
But the end was the beginning!
His resurrection gained
Salvation for believers!
And cleansing from sins stain!
.
.
Hallelujah! Christ arose!
.
