He did. So I am happy to share it with all of you now. From The Cradle To The Cross In awestruck reflection I thought of that day That God came to earth in a marvelous way Born of a virgin...a wonder to all choosing to sleep in a mere cattle stall The King of glory...no crown for His head But one made of thorns is what He'd wear instead! All of His splendor He counted as loss No throne to sit on...He'd hang on a cross! Up there in mockery they would suspend Him He, our great Advocate...none to defend Him! Sweet, in the manger...but scorned, on the tree Bearing chastisement for you and for me So while we praise Him on this Christmas day Remember His birth was to give us a way That we could see Heaven and new life begin His birth led to suffering for all of our sin He rose from the dead and defeated the grave He came forth victorious who came here to save The beauty of Bethlehem's bright, shining star The darkness of Calvary seen from afar The Lord's Resurrection completing His task Salvation providing to all who would ask Adored in a manger so long ago The Word became flesh...His creation to know So come let us worship the Savior above Who entered our world on a mission of love And let us tell others His gospel of grace Making Him known to the whole human race 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rome almost took me one time too. And it wasn't pretty. But that's a story for another time. I will comment on the OP next. You be blessed skillet and praise the Lord . its not in any way a message against catholics . But it is a warning that must be sounded . Its the system I warn against . 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
