No one lived as Jesus lived
For He never once demurred
When He knew the Father's will;
Since His joy was to fulfil
All the details of God's word
No one lived as Jesus lived.
No one died as Jesus died
Since, despite the public shame,
He was shown to be God's Son;
And because His work was done
While He glorified God's name
No one died as Jesus died.
No one rose as Jesus rose
Since the glory of God's might
Brought Him scatheless from the grave;
Since He came with power to save
And emerged through His own right
No one rose as Jesus rose.
No one saves as Jesus saves,
For eternity and time,
To the uttermost extent;
Since in graciousness He went
To atone for every crime
No one saves as Jesus saves.
No one loves as Jesus loves
For He laid down His own life,
And He shed His blood for me;
Since He would not go out free
For His Master, children, wife
No one loves as Jesus loves.
Beautifully written. Thanks for sharing this.
ReplyDeletedear david..this poem says it all about the lord jesus.
ReplyDeleteit used to really bother me, when i was young, when people would say that "jesus could of sinned, but he didn't"
well i used to say if it was impossible for the lord to lie...IMPOSSIBLE!..well it was impossible for him to do any other sin!
one time at a bible conference, one of the preachers apologized for what he was going to use as an example to us to show us how foreign it was to the lord's nature to sin,
"picture this", he said. "there are cows in the barn, eating the food set before them, hay, and there are mice running all around...the cows never pay any attention to them...then in comes a cat..well the eyes of that cat are almost popping our of its sockets, like magnets, being attracted to the mice...it was in the cats nature...but it was NOT in the cow;s nature!..in no way could the cow even be attracted to those mice!"
you know david, even though the preacher did apologize, in my eyes, it sure proved the point!
just as this verse written by a poet that i know says it,
"No one lived as Jesus lived
HE NEVER ONCE DEMURRED
When He knew the Father's will;
Since His joy was to fulfil
All the details of God's word
No one lived as Jesus lived.
Perfect!..from terry
