I Pray You Understand

I Pray you Understand
2-4

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 man that man can 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 us 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 our backs on our CREATOR-
Through Trials, Tribulations and Tears.
Thinking we could find 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 simply chose to keep on sinning.

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

Some men saw The Light, His Power, His Might,
Some realized what he had 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 made by 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 are,
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,
On the CREATOR of the UNIVERSE.

To be a part of the redeemer's plan,
All they would have to do is BELIEVE-
ACCEPT that he paid for the sins of MAN.
Repent, Confess and PREPARE to RECEIVE.

He reached down to glorify him.
