Poet's Corner Thursday: Obey The Gospel Call
Obey the Gospel Call
Son of God perfect, true
Heart of love for mankind
Came to earth for me and you
He came unto His own
But they received Him not
Not seeing, for their sins, He would atone.
Miracles, signs, wonders cried out of Him "Divine!"
Before all men, women, children
Did His light shine.
Self righteous, hard, proud the religious leaders were
So steeped in man made traditions
They didn't realize, in front of their eyes, was of sin, the Cure.
He, of Himself, did testify,
"I am the Way, the Truth, the Life!"
"For your weary souls, rest, I provide!"
Obey the Gospel Call
The blessed Gospel Call
His grace reaches to all.
"No one, not one, comes to the Father except through Me!
I'll give you eternal life.
Let Me, Savior of your soul, be!"
Yet, Him, did so many reject
Though He healed their diseases,
His testimony they would not accept.
Religious leaders plotted, planned, schemed His demise
With hearts so cold and cruel
Him, they did, despise.
So they brought false charges against the Anointed One
Delivering Him up to the Roman officials
Their evil deed was done.
"Blasphemy, blasphemy!" they all cried out.
"Do away with Him!
Crucify, crucify!" they all began to shout.
Obey the Gospel Call
The blessed Gospel Call
His grace reaches to all.
"In Him, I find no wrong," declared Pontious Pilate.
"I'll let Him go"
"No,no," said the crowd, beginning to riot.
"It's the Passover Day
I'll release one prisoner.
What do you say?"
They all said with one accord.
"Barabbas, Barabbas! Release Barbabbas!"
"Crucify Jesus!" They all roared.
To please the crowd,
Pilate released Barabbas.
Which made the many proud.
Then, to Golgotha, they led Him
Made Simon Cyrene to carry His cross
The day of His death very grim.
Obey the Gospel Call
The blessed Gospel Call
His grace reaches to all.
Nailed the Messiah to the cross
For our pardon, our salvation
He would pay a high cost.
He hung on the cross from noon until three
In great pain and agony
Just to set us free.
"Father, forgive them. They know not what they do."
And breathed His last.
His sacrifice so true.
Buried in a rich man's tomb
The tomb guarded
To the disciples this was darkness and gloom.
The third day came bright and clear
And up from the grave He arose
Redemption draws near.
Obey the Gospel Call
The blessed Gospel Call
His grace reaches to all.
Appeared unto His disciples and many others alive again
They now knew in their hearts
Grace always wins.
Over the grave a victory He won
Now Lord of Lords King of Kings
On His head is placed a dazzling crown.
Think on what He's done for you
All His love and grace
In your heart's view
To this Gospel plan, steps, six
In following them
Your sin problem will be fixed.
Let your heart begin to hear
Of His sacrifice and grace
To the Gospel give a listening ear
Obey the Gospel Call
The blessed Gospel Call
His grace reaches to all.
Then in your heart begin to believe
Accept His atonement
Your shame and guilt He will relieve.
From your sins repent, turn away
Turn to Him
Let this be a new day.
With your mouth make the confession
Son of the living God
Don't let your mind bring any doubts or questions.
Be immersed baptized in water
You'll receive forgiveness
Becoming God's son or daughter
Then to Him remain faithful and true
He'll never leave or forsake you.
Stay with you all of life's journey through
Obey the Gospel Call
The blessed Gospel Call
His grace reaches to all.
