#throwbackpoem ~ On This CHRISTmas Morn ~

A promise to the world,
a child to be given . . .
so many years foretold
so all could be forgiven.

Moonless night shining,
with the Morning Star
calling watchful shepherds
to come from afar.

Wise Men carry gifts,
meant for only a King
angels up in heaven
Glory ~ Glory ~ sing.

God became a man,
the Good News is born
begotten Son arrives
on this CHRISTmas morn.

Our mighty God concedes,
to the wickedness of man
the Prince of Peace comes
to bridge the empty span.

Wonderful is His name,
Counselor to the meek
the Son was born of flesh
to give power to the weak.

Our everlasting Father,
knows our fallen state
so He sent His only Son
to save us from our fate.

A promise to the world,
our Lord and Savior is born
sing ~ Praises to His Glory ~
on this CHRISTmas morn.

The Prince of Peace.”

Sticky Note From God ~12.06.19~

A Gift From God ~

A Gift from God,
a Savior born
on one starlit
glorious morn.

A Babe, a Boy
a virgin’s Son
imparting grace
to everyone.

A Man, a Prince,
a coming King
who in an blink
peace will bring.

A mighty God,
a sacrificial Lamb
the beloved Son
of the great I AM.

A Gift from God,
an eternal Friend
A Savior till  . . .
the very end!

Revelation 1:8

“I am Alpha and Omega,
the beginning and the ending,
saith the Lord, which is
and which was,
and which is to come,
the Almighty.”

A Look Into the Manger ~

Some people look,
but they don’t see
the gift God sent
to set them free.

They see a manger,
not the Savior
they see a Baby
not God’s favor.

They see a Boy,
not the King of Kings
they see a Child
not the hope He brings.

They see the Magi,
not the Deliverer
they see the Shepherds
not the lifesaver.

Some people look,
into the manger
but they only see . . .
Jesus as a stranger!

~~~~~~~

Luke 2:12

“And this shall be a sign unto you;
Ye shall find the babe wrapped
in swaddling clothes,
lying in a manger.”

There Would Be No CHRISTmas ~

There would be no CHRISTmas,
without God’s mercy and His love
there would be no Nativity
without this Gift from above.

There would be no hope,
without the Virgin’s birth
there would be no joy
for a new heaven and earth.

There would be no Holy Night,
without the Good News
there would be no adoring Him
without the King of the Jews.

There would be no peace,
without the Prince dying for it
there would be no rebirth
without the Holy Spirit.

There would be no CHRISTmas
without Calvary’s cross . . .
for Jesus was born to save
the sinner and the lost!

for his unspeakable gift.”

CHRISTmas is Christ ~

CHIRSTmas is Christ,
no matter what they say
it’s all about Jesus
being born on this day.

It’s not about Santa,
or reindeer on the roof
it’s not about the clatter
of their little, tiny hoofs.

CHRISTmas is Christ,
the Babe, the Child, the Man
it’s all about the Savior
and God’s salvation plan.

It’s not about decorations,
trees or special lights
it’s not about the sales
or our out-of-town flights.

CHRISTmas is Christ,
the Lamb, our Hope, the Rock
it’s about the Price of Peace
and hearing Jesus knock.

It’s not about the presents,
its only about receiving one
for CHRISTmas is Christ
God’s gift to everyone!

~~~~~~~

Revelation 3:20

“Behold, I stand at the door,
and knock: if any man hear my
voice, and open the door,
I will come in to him,
and will sup with him,
and he with me.”

Star Search ~

A single star shinning,
on a moonless night
God’s gift to the world
wrapped up in One Light.

Wise men make the journey,
from places east and far
in search for what they know
will be the Morning Star.

With gifts they travel,
to the town of Bethlehem
knowing there they’d find
the Babe, the Christ, the Lamb.

And so they came to be,
face to face with their King
knowing He was the Prince
who eternal peace would bring.

One single, solitary star,
still beckons the world today
to follow the Light that leads . . .
to the Truth, Life and Way!

~~~~~~

John 8:12

“Then spake Jesus again unto them,
saying, I am the light of the world:
he that followeth me shall not
walk in darkness,
but shall have the light of life.”

God’s Gift to The World ~

Swaddled in a manger,
lies a precious Baby Boy
God’s gift to the whole world
to bring it peace and joy.

Wrapped around a little Babe,
is the blanket of undying love
covering the entire world
with God’s mercy from above.

Inside of a tiny cradle,
lies our Lord and Savior
born to bring into the world
His Father’s grace and favor.

No other Gift will come,
in such a perfect bundle
none will ever be . . .
so meek and so humble.

Swaddled in a tiny manger,
for all the people to receive
lies God’s Gift of Salvation . . .
if in Jesus they’d believe!

~~~~~~~

Isaiah 9:6

“For unto us a child is born,
unto us a son is given:
and the government
shall be upon his shoulder:
and his
name shall be called
Wonderful, Counsellor,
The mighty God,
The everlasting Father,
The Prince of Peace.”

Sticky Note From God ~ 12.20.15

Jesus Will Reign ~

One day . . .
in a twinkling of an eye
Jesus will come
on a cloud in the sky.

For some it’s the beginning,
of eternal life . . .
for those who are left the start
of everlasting strife.

One day . . .
the trumpet will blow
the exact hour
no one will ever know.

For seven years,
all hell will break loose
as the whole world suffers
from the Antichrist’s abuse.

One day . . .
Jesus will come to reign
and the Price of Peace
will hold the earth’s rein.

He’ll make His enemies,
His very own footstool
and we will worship Him
as the true King who rules.

~~~~~~~~~

Daniel 7:13-14

“I saw in the night visions, and, behold,
one like the Son of man came with the
clouds of heaven, and came to the Ancient of days,
and they brought him near before him.

And there was given him dominion, and glory,
and a kingdom, that all people, nations,
and languages, should serve him: his dominion is
an everlasting dominion, which shall not pass away,
and his kingdom that which shall not be destroyed.”

His Name is Jesus ~

His name is Jesus,
the bright Morning Star
He can change your life
right where you are.

His name is Jesus,
God’s begotten Son
He came to forgive
each and everyone.

His name is Jesus,
the sturdy Rock
He opens doors
hears every knock.

His name is Jesus,
the True Vine and Light
He brings victory
gives eternal sight.

His name is Jesus,
Savior, Prince of Peace
He calms the waters
brings sweet release.

His name is Jesus,
The Christ, the Lord of all

Where’s Your Peace?

Where is your gift of peace,
where do you keep it . . .
is it found in a bottle of booze
or that cigarette you just lit?

Where is your gift of peace,
how many pills does it take
how many drugs do you need
till you no longer shake?

Where is your gift of peace,
when will the violence end
when will you stop hurting
your family and your friends?

Where is your gift of peace,
how much longer will you look
to the world for the answers
and not in the Good Book?

Where is your gift of peace,
where do you keep it . . .
how much longer from God
will you keep your sin a secret?

Jesus, is the Prince of Peace,
He’s your strength in all things
but you must turn to Him . . .
and confess to Him everything.

Then you will find the calm,
of God’s eternal peace . . .
and from these worldly things
in Jesus, you will be released!

Do You Know Him?

Do you know Him,
He’s the Prince of Peace
did you know . . .
His love will never cease?

Do you know Him,
He’s God’s only Son
did you know . . .
He loves everyone?

Do you know Him,
He’s eternally steadfast
did you know . . .
His love will always last?

Do you know Him,
He’s the greatest story told
did you know . . .
His love is yours to behold?

Do you know Him,
He’s the centerpiece of life
did you know . . .
His love overcomes all strife?

Do you know Him,
if not let me introduce you
He is my Lord and Savior
and oh, how He loves you too!

The Gift of Jesus ~

The birth of baby Jesus,
our Lord and precious Savior
holds a dear place in the heart
that understands God’s favor.

For we embrace the light,
given to us on His birthday
we know Christ is the truth
to His Father ~ the only way.

We relish in the eternal joy,
of what His life means to us
we find our greatest pleasure
is learning, in Him to trust.

We understand the fragrance,
the aroma of His grace
and we can hardly wait
till we meet Him face to face.

For our Prince of Peace,
came to save us from our sin
through His almighty power
His Spirit now lives within.

Each of us, who treasures,
the offer of His eternal love
keeps our hearts and minds
on the hope from above.

So, if you want to share with us,
the True Gift of the season
then ask Jesus into your heart
and let His light be your beacon!
