"PASSOVER!"
© 1999 Patricia L. Carpenter
{Poem Book 6|
When Israel left Egypt *
God said to 'celebrate',
For He would 'deliver' them &
their firstborn sons ~to Him~ they'd 'dedicate'. *
He 'passed over' them
when He saw the blood, *
As it showed Him their OBEDIENCE *
in 'doing' what they should! *
For Pharaoh had 'refused' *
to let God's people go,
Now he would be reaping
what he did sow.
Yet ~ today ~ we 'celebrate'
our 'deliverance' from SIN,
For the Blood of JESUS 'covers'
every 'deep' stain within.
As we have 'obeyed' His call *
& taken JESUS as our Savior,
So He could 'bring us out'
of all our 'bad' behavior.
Now, remember, as you 'celebrate'
what EASTER'S all about,
The observance of The 'LAMB' of God
Who can 'free' you of all DOUBT!
Doubts about your 'salvation'
& doubts about His Love for you,
As God sent CHRIST for this very purpose *
if your 'search' for HIM is really 'True'. *
Now BLESS His Holy Name *
& ~PLEASE~ do not forget,
He has 'forgiven' you *
& made you His pet. *
