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

SHEKINAH GLORY

As we gather in Your presence
Pressed by cares this world imparts
May the fullness of Your Spirit
Drive life's burdens from our hearts.

Praises crown Your throne with Glory
Where all darkness fades from sight
We lift holy hands before You
Bathe us in Shekinah Light.

O Eternal, Sovereign Master
Lord of all we crown You now
Fill these temples with Your power
As before Your presence bow.

Now in full and glad surrender
Offering praise we take our stand
Triune God in one proclaiming
Worship to the risen Lamb.

EDEN

How beautiful the flowers bloomed on Eden's brow
The lion feeding with the lambs together grew
And perfect peace became the pledge for all to see
God's awesome glory and eternal majesty.

No virgin love could ever match two hearts that day
As heaven's Presence followed them at work or play
The Tree of Life whose leaves brought healing to all men
Gave Paradise one glorious hue of color blend.

But pride began to question freedom's right to choose
The Serpent's plan apart from God seemed better news
So in the course of time the fruit to make one wise
Became the sting of death that caught man by surprise.

But why this veil of night so cloaked in haunting fears
Would man exchange God's righteousness for mortal tears?
It was the price that disobedience had to pay
That formed this chasm touching every man today.

Yet from the ashes of despair the Lamb was slain
To bridge this separation from sin's crimson stain
So while He calls for you to meet Him face to face
Receive this priceless Gift of God's redeeming grace.

THE LAMB APPEARED

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 golden 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
New freedom through this risen Lamb
Gives wings of praise at His command.
