Emmanuel

Emmanuel …by Dylan Crummer

From a little baby, innocent and sweet

To a man so just, he would be crowned king

From before his birth, they spoke of a time

When the war would be won, that a new hope would shine

His life a reflection, of our Father in the sky

So powerful in humility, that he would chose to die

A man of full faith, the image of perfection

Born a human being, God as his creation

This so undeserving, a love beyond our scope

To suffer so unnecessarily, that we may know hope

Royalty in our midst, the greatest there ever would be

But to be so blinded, only a few could see

The light walking in darkness, his words they held as truth

Accepting him as Lord, only with him would they move

This infant born, so fragile and small

Trusted to a world of vultures, to be a martyr for us all

That we may live, in eternity with him

The mind boggles, why us? we people of sin

All we need to do is accept, that his story be true

That a love like this does exist, and he is willing to give it to you.

All that the Father giveth me shall come to me; and him that cometh to me I will in no wise cast out. For I came down from heaven, not to do mine own will, but the will of him that sent me. And this is the Father’s will which hath sent me, that of all which he hath given me I should lose nothing, but should raise it up again at the last day. And this is the will of him that sent me, that every one which seeth the Son, and believeth on him, may have everlasting life: and I will raise him up at the last day. John 6:37-40
