A Wonder to Ponder

From heaven

To the earth

To a grave

From a cradle

To a cross

To a crown

The Father’s gift

For

Mankind’s drift

To

Heal sin’s rift

Heaven’s glory

Earth’s story

Redemption’s song

Spells out the story

Of the One that came

To man’s aid

In the Father’s name

Jesus the Christ

Made the sacrifice

And gave his life

To pay sin’s price

Walked among men

Met their needs

Showed them love

Instead of greed

Healed the sick

Fed the poor

Befriended the friendless

And so much more

Chose a band

Of motley men

Taught responsibility

To each of them

They wondered

And blundered

And one his chance

He totally squandered

Coming again

For his to claim

All who believe

In his holy name

Are you numbered

Among the lot?

Are you sure

Of an eternal spot?

Confess your sin

Walk close to him

And an eternal home

You shall win

Jesus the wonder

You need to ponder

The only hope

For sin’s plunder

Accept him

Today!

No longer

Delay!

Satan waits to

Waylay

All that

Stray

The world

Is amused

When Jesus

You choose

But hell

Awaits them

That continually

Refuse
