Tune: Malvern
(one tune to 'Jesus where'er thy people meet')
1 Peter 2 v.21-25
********
Christ suffered for us, example
That we should follow, and recall
His life laid down, and paid the price
For our sins, it does full suffice
He did not sin, neither was guile
Found in His mouth, and no revile
He did not take up in return
Nor threaten with accusings stern
But when He suffered, committed
Himself to God, by Him e'er led
He the One, judges righteously
Justice would be the outcome, see
Christ in His own self bore our sins
That we forgiven, cleansed within
May be by his atoning blood
His offering, a flowing flood
His life given upon the tree
The cross, He died for you and me
And rose again, He strong to save
His work, no less, His life He gave
That we then to sins being dead
Should hold to Him, our living Head
And so live unto righteousness
By His stripes we healed, we confess
For we were as sheep gone astray
But now has come salvation's day
For now we are returned unto
Shepherd, Bishop of our souls true

Apparently only for those who believe. Good write though.
Thanks Gold. I don't reckon you've cast away all you confidence (or faith) as a verse says. He will oversee ('shepherd or bishop') our souls.
Hello Orchidee.
A lovely write.
John 3 :16 - I thought of this Bible verse when I read your poem, God's great love for us.
Keep writing FineB
Thanks Fine.
Great Religious Poem.
Thanks Lamar.
Gives a whole new meaning to the old question
so what did your last servant die of'?....
Erm yes, thanks N.
AMEN UNCLE STEVE ! There is only one MEDIATORbetween GOD & MAN ~ The Man CHRIST JESUS ~ AMEN
The Lord Jesus Christ ~ who was the SINLESS Son of God ~ became SIN for US that we might be made the RIGHTEOUSNESS of GOD in & through HIM
The Lord Jesus Christ has suffered to our SINS ~ once for ALL ~ that HE might bring us to GOD
There is no other NAME in the whole UNIVERSE through whom we can be saved and that name is the LORD JESUS CHRIST !
The LORD JESUS CHRIST said :
I am THE WAY ~ not one of severally equally good ways
I am THE TRUTH ~ no just an aspect of TRUTH
I am THE LIFE ~ not just a facet of LIFE
NO Man , Woman or Child has access to GOD except by ME
Christianity is the ONE and ONLY TRUE RELIGION and this is the GOSPEL we preach ~ We resolve to know or teach nothing amongst YOU except the Gospel of Jesus Christ and HIS DEATH for US on the Cross - We want to concentrate entirely on The Lord Jesus Christ and His Death for us on the Cross ! These are my beliefs and the GOSPEL I preach ~ AMEN ~ Hope that answers your QUESTION !
Thanks for the HYMN & POEM ~ UPLIFTING !
THE BIBLE seems to be the WORD of GOD
THE BIBLE cliams to be the WORD of GOD
THE BIBLE ~ in our day to day lives ~ Proves to be the WORD of GOD ~ AMEN
Let the REDEEMED of the Lord say so ~ Whom he hath redeemed from the Hand of the Enemy
Thnaks for SHARING & CARING
Blessings & Peace to YOU & YOURS
Love in the Spirit ~ BRIAN & ANGELA ~ AMEN
Thanks B&A.
