Poem based on 1 Cor 15:49

I Corinthians 15:49

I look just like my father,

The first rebellious man,

But thanks to grace and mercy

According to His plan,

I shall be like my Savior,

His image bear at last,

When death has worked me over

And this sad world is past.

Or when He comes in glory

In twinkling of an eye,

Made like unto my Savior

No more to sin or die.

When death is dead forever,

and there is no more grave.

Blest be the Second Adam

Who died my soul to save.

And as we have borne the image of the earthy, we shall also bear the image of the heavenly. 1 Cor. 15:49

What About the Birth Of

“A Savior Which is Christ the Lord?”

Let harlot religion paganize it.

Let the world system merchandize it.

Let ransomed souls recognize it.

Artistic ones will glamorize it

Emotional ones will sentimentalize it.

His ministers will emphasize it.

While intellectuals analyze it,

And scoffers trivialize it.

Repentant sinners utilize it.

Historians and calendar makers,

Categorize it and seasonalize it,

True worshippers

Internalize it and eternalize it.

Indifferent hearts generalize it.

His enemies criticize it and eulogize it.

God’s sons and God’s daughters

Realize it and personalize it.
