Rhymes from a Christian Man
Look into a river watch the water flow,
Downstream it runs, gently and slow
It comes from above, on mountains high,
It comes from above where eagles fly
Eagles fly high, to the top of the mount
Their prey below, they hover and count
Rabbits below running through fields of green
Animal, insects and things quite unseen
Animals run along earths trodden track
Here and there and then all along back
Back to the earth where they came from one day
Back to earth all made by God some would say
On the first day came heaven followed by earth
And then came the light, the day and nights birth
And God saw it good and created the sea
For animals, mankind, and especially for me
The sea and the land were created just thus
With out any toil or trouble or fuss
After the creatures God made mankind
Gave us a garden and happiness to find
We were made as a family, a member of God’s flock
But soon we had erred and our God we did mock
We walked away from him separated by sin
We left that great garden we walked out from within
Since then Jesus came to atone for our wrong
Since then Jesus came to talk with the throng
So come to His word and His wisdom please do
He died on the cross for me and for you
He died that you might share the joy and the life
He died so that you might avoid eternal strife
So come to His word, please heed this last call
The day soon approaches when mankind will fall
The last chance approaches each day it grows near
The last day approaches, but don’t be in fear
Come to the light and tune into His word
Why suffer the toil, wouldn’t that be absurd
He calls to us daily, can’t you hear his clear voice
He calls to us daily - He gives us the choice
To live with Him for ever in His graceful home
To live within heaven with God on His throne
So come to your senses, please try to see
His message is powerful for you ands for me
You can find salvation of that please be sure
You can live forever – now what is there more
