THE PASSOVER LAMB

The picture of a spotless Lamb
Designed before the birth of time
Was central in the heart of God
Before man stepped upon earth’s sod.

Then out of dust a living soul
Was given birth one Eden morn
And standing there beside this man
A bride with beauty took his hand.

But when a tree with tempting fruit
Became the test for Adam’s race
The Serpent’s charm betrayed God’s plan
And that brought death to every man.

In time a bloodstained Lamb appeared
Redemption’s priceless gift was made
The hell each man would have to pay
Was nailed to Calvary’s cross that day.

When faith takes hold His nailed-scared hand
Then all sin’s past is swept away
Real freedom through the risen Lamb
Gives wings of praise at His command

Once again, Papa, that is an amazing, beautiful, and very true poem!!! Thank you for sharing... Keep up the good work. You really have a gift from God to condense a thought or two into a poem with rhyme and coherency. Believe me... 'cause you're talking to a girl that can barely make two lines rhyme and fit together:)
