THE PLAN

It was a day like any other one

But somebody knew

That heaven had a miraculous plan

For me and for you.

It was so incredible

So divine

A plan to rescue

All of mankind

From the ravages of sin

That keeps them bound.

Like lost sheep they wander

Until being found..

.

.

Bound to an eternity

From the presence of God

To a place full of weeping

And gnashing and woe

A place our Heavenly father desires

That no one should go.

.

.

The plan was simple

Yet expensive in cost

To send Jesus, His son

To save all

Who are

And were lost.

To offer himself

As a sacrifice for all

By dying as a ransom

This fate he would befall.

.

.

It wouldn’t be easy

It would be a painful slow death

Lashed forty times

And nailed to a cross.

Despised and rejected

Insulted by man

Who would cry out

King of the Jews?

Save yourself –

If you can!

.

.

Hung between two thieves

On that cross

Insults were shouted

By those truly lost.

But out of his mouth

Came a loud love filled cry

Father forgive them,

For them do I die.

.

..

The veil tore in two

As he gave his last breath

And tombs were opened

As he conquered death.

The solider who had stood there

And thrust a spear

In his side

Said

Truly this was the son of God

Who has died!!

.

..

He was laid in a tomb

Freshly cut in the stone

And embalmed with fresh mixture

Of myrrh and aloes .

They laid him in linen

In that cold place

As was a custom for Jews

At that given time

It was all part of reason

And a terrible crime

.

.

.

And now Satan was in for

A tremendous great shock

Cos death couldn’t hold Jesus

Entombed in that rock.

Satan’s plan for victory

Went west pretty quick

As Jesus was stronger

Than his evil trick.

.

.

Sin had no power

No strength against him

The mighty Son of God

Our risen conquering King.

When Jesus arose

Up from the grave

Heaven rejoiced

And the Father forgave

Every sin that mankind ever knew

Past present future

Conquered forever

For me and for you.

.

.

So no more do we need

To be prisoner to its power

We can be victorious

With Christ every hour.

By accepting with a thankful heart

Of all he has done

Setting us free

That’s the eternal

Love of the Son.

.

.

All heaven knew

This was God´s amazing plan

Salvation through Jesus

The true Son of God

The true Son of Man.

Distant Shores

The many waves between us
separation from our shores
I have a special feeling
that I want to share:

The miles that separate us
cant separate our love
the love we've shared so long
I am sure will never die.

Our hearts will keep it precious
as precious as a diamond that glows,
like that precious diamond
the value no-one knows.

Although we miss each other
our thoughts are always shared
and the love will keep on shining
as long as we both still care.
