THE PLAN
This was published in a Church magazine and went Worldwide.
I use my writing as a witness and out reach of which some have been published.
One of them is this poem, THE PLAN.(copyright)1989
I post this for the glory of the Lord JESUS CHRIST. ( YESHUA HA’ MASHIACH ).
THE PLAN
In the beginning was the Messiah, with GOD, always alive, and is Himself, GOD !
The battle had been raging
Satan planning his plot
The plan with which he had arrived
Would indeed fit into The MASTER'S staging.
Rumor was out, he was wanting his fame
Am I not the law he did claim
This Man, what is HE?
This is my land, my world shall stand
But the MASTER, held the upper hand.
The WORD was given, as a Babe HE came
From a virgin born, to take the World's blame
Into a Man and Wisdom He did grow
To the blind He gave sight, and the lame did walk,
and deaf ear's were opened to hear this heavenly talk.
With shout's of Hosanna - YESHUA HA' MASHIACH, joyful voices did sing
The SAVIOUR, they had waited in Faith to know.
The Supper eaten, to the Garden came the SAVIOUR
His soul heavy with sorrow
ABBA - FATHER, take this cup away?
O FATHER, not my will, but Thy will be done
In agony sweat fell as great drops of Blood
Let it be as tear's of HIS LOVE, the Blood of The ROCK
- -The Hour Had Come ! --
And Soldier's came to take Him away
For thirty pieces of Silver, He was sold that day.
Crucified ! A spear thrust into His side
Blood of Life....Water of Truth
Victory there-in, remains to this day.
Father ! forgive them, they know not what they do
The SAVIOUR prayed
As mocker's jeered at their handy jest
Lot's were cast for His garment, A Robe
A Roman Soldier looked on to feel perhaps forgiveness in his soul,
He conquered the World on this final test.
Down from the Cross they laid Him to rest
And a stone was rolled into place
Many thought it was the end
For to them, He was more then just a Friend.
Death cried with pains aloud
as the ground shook with a mighty roar
O Death where is thy sting?
For such a Man as this you have never met
When JESUS was crucified, life had
just begun
For you o death, crucified GOD's only SON.
Three days and three nights, time had passed
From the tomb , the stone still in place,
Came forth the MAN !
He who bore our sorrow
afflicted for our sin
In the LORD, victory is won !
Forever, He is to be the ETERNAL ONE.
The Passover LAMB in shed BLOOD
Atonement in redemption, a gift of LOVE
The MESSIAH, LAMB of SALVATION !
Come, O come to the SAVIOUR.
O the LOVE, there-in.
IT IS FINISHED !

( I use the Hebrew name of JESUS (YESHUA) for it was His name in 3 languages nailed to the Cross. John 19:20 V20. This title therefore many of the Jews did read: because the place where Yeshua was crucified was nigh to the city: and it was written in Hebrew, in Greek, and in Latin.
Praise in writing.
