MYSTERY MOMENTS

Mystery moments are the gemstones
That are found by searching hearts
Digging deep within the mine shafts
Of God's Word in all its parts.

Genesis through Revelation
Holds the key each wonder shares
From the mystery of creation
To God's call from earthly cares.

Eden's mystery tells the story
Of the chasm caused by sin
And the promise of a Savior
That would offer peace within.

Priest and prophets shared their vision
Of Messiah's virgin birth
Of His death and resurrection
His return again to earth.

Yet the story most intriguing
Is the mystery of the Church
His indwelling holy Presence
With its waiting Bride on earth.

Heaven's Bridegroom is the Savior
Who laid down His life for you
You can have a mystery moment
If you trust the Savior too.

THE EMPTY THRONE

The trumpet alerted the angels to come
To gather together before the White Throne
The Father announced a miraculous plan
That Jesus would take on the flesh of a man.

Amazement and wonder were seen in their eyes
A virgin would birth heaven's infinite Prize
The ones who were chosen to break the Good News
Appeared to some shepherds, the lowliest of Jews.

All Glory to God!” was the theme of their song
Lasting peace, was the Gift awaited so long
Emanuel’s coming to Bethlehem's stall
Was God's only Son with salvation for all.

The shepherds and magi who worshiped this King
Saw Him as Messiah; their freedom He'd bring
The path from the stable was marked by a cross
They did not see then, how much it would cost!

While angels rejoiced at the birth of God's Son
Redemption for man through His death would be won
Each sinner partaking the Savior's new birth
Brings praise from the angels in heaven and earth.
