The Redeemer's Plan

There's nothing made by man in Heaven,
But the scars in the Master's hands.
Perhaps we should consider that,
As we go about making plans.

The very best that man can do
When all has been said and done -
Is to find a way to show our love,
For God's only begotten Son.

God started uis off with a garden,
Soon spoiled by man, what a pity -
As our hearts began to harden,
Wasn't long until man made a city.

For the next four thousand years,
We turned out backs on our creator -
Through trials, tribulations and tears
Also looking for something greater.

When the time was at hand
There came a chance for a new beginning
God came down to earth as a man
But man just chose to keep on sinning.

He was lifted up on a cross,
All we did was crucify him -
But God didn't deem it a loss
He reached down to glorify Him.

Some men saw the Light, His power, His might
Some realised what had been done -
He had given His life, but had won the fight,
And a new journey had begun.

Next time it won't be a garden,
But a city, not made by a hand -
A city called New Jerusalem,
Where sin won't be able to stand.

For some, a celestial choir
Some will lay their crowns at his feet -
For some, just darkness and fire,
The chaff - separated from wheat.

It's hard for me to imagine
That some people still need to decide -
Where they will spend eternity,
In fact, I'm quite mystified.

Instead of walking in the shadow of Adam's shame,
Marked by death, and under a curse -
They too can call upon Jesus' name
Upon "The Creator of the Universe".

Be a part of the Redeemer's plan,
And all they'd have to do is believe,
Accept that He paid for the sins of man,
Repent, confess and prepare to receive.

There would be no confusing rituals,
No hoops they would have to jump through -
"Whosoever will" - call upon Jesus' name,
Like me, can be set free too!
Hallelujah!

He is our Lord, our all and all,
Our God - there is none greater
In Jesus' name, we can just call
On our Father - on the creator.

Glory be to God!
