THE GOSPEL

by

Becky Rene

Put mouse cursor on Scripture reference to read 

Inspired by 1 Corinthians 15.1-8

 

What mortal man who ever lived

could pay the price of sin?

You’ll not find one upon the earth

among all of Adam’s kin

 

Yet came the Holy Spirit

to a maiden not yet known

And by God’s power in her womb

a Holy seed was sown

 

The Son of God came down to earth

from His glorious heavenly home

A Savoir born of flesh and bone

who would for sin atone

 

To a torture stake they nailed Him

where He suffered in our place

And so He paid the price of sin

for all the human race

 

They laid Him in a fresh hewn tomb

and then they sealed Him in

And everyone that loved the Lord

for three days mourned for Him

 

But Hades had no hold on Him

Because He knew no sin

And by God’s power He rose again

His glory to regain

 

For forty days He showed Himself

to just a faithful few

Then He ascended back to heaven

beyond the azure blue
