The God that Saves

 

 

Who is this God that saves

None other than YAWEH

Whom the Jews acknowledged

And to whom they prayed.

 

But they had a difficulty

When Jesus forgave sins

And decided among themselves

To disregard him.

 

They knew him well:

His father and his mother

And his words and his works

Were to them a bother.

 

He could not have been

The Messiah they expected

And despite his miraculous works

Him they rejected.

 

They believed not

He was come in the flesh

So consequently, there was no chance

Of entering his rest.

 

They worshipped YAWEH

But ignored His Son

And thus, from the God that Saves

Away they had run. 

 

 

The God that Saves

Is the meaning of a name

Which speaks of two when interpreted

That are one and the same.

 

Yeshua is that name

And it means YAWEH Saves

So that the interpretation really is

Jesus is the God that saves.

 

The stone rejected

Is the chief cornerstone

And to all that believe on his name

Become YAWEH’s own.

 

The Father and I are one

Declared Jesus, God’s Son

But when the Pharisees heard it

They were stunned.

 

Is this not Jesus?

Is not he Joseph’s son?

And is not his mother Mary?

Yes, to all bar none!

 

But there is more!

He is Jesus the God that saves

And unlike the Pharisees and others

There’s no position he craves.

 

 

Co-essential with God

And co-existent too,

He is from eternity to eternity

Unlike me and you.

 

Salvation is in no other

As stated in God’s Word

And God the Father and Holy Spirit

With this concur.

 

Who is this God that saves?

Yeshua is his name!

King of kings and Lord of lords

And who eternally reigns.

 

Philippians 2:10-11

 

That at the name of Jesus

Every knee should bow,

Of things in heaven, and things in the earth,

And things under the earth;

 

 

And that every tongue

Should confess

That Jesus Christ is Lord

To the glory of God, the Father.
