I don't get to write much anymore, but I wanted to share this...   Sorry if it's poor, I'm rusty

Behold the King
As He creates all things
Speaking words of love
He makes the skies
The plants
The water
The earth

Behold the King
As He bends down with love
Molding an Image like His own
Looking back, satisfied
He breathes life into him
And falls in love

Behold the King
Walking through His Paradise
Looking for His children
And seeing, alas
They have sinned
Gone against His will

Behold the King
Loving His people still
Delivering them from death
From enemies of the night
And telling them
That, like in Eden
He will walk with them again

Behold the King
Laying in a manger
The King, a tiny Child!
But in that little body
Holding all the love
That turns the plants ‘round

Behold the King
Speaking in the temple
A building there to honor Him
And yet, as He stands there
Speaking words of life
Many turn away
And murmur in their hearts

Behold the King
Oh, behold His agony
The spirit is willing
But the flesh is weak
But, when He stands
To receive the kiss of betrayal
He is strong, and ready

Behold the King
Oh, behold His pain!
Behold His shame
The pain, the shame
It should be mine
As He is accused
As He is condemned

Oh, the King condemned...
When the fault is mine!

Behold the King
As they shred His flesh
That was once dust
But given life by Him
Behold as He carries our sin
Through the town
And up the hill

Behold the King
Oh, behold His love
He loves the hands that kill him
Hands so like my own

Every sin
Every lie
Every fault
Every weakness
Every temptation
Every infirmity
Every illness

Behold them
The scars of the King

Behold the King
As He leaves the world
It is finished
All the pain, the evil, the death
It is finished
The Royal Decree

Behold the King
King Jesus!
Oh, behold His glory!
As He steps into the room
His friends, who turned away
Now fall at His feet
Ready to serve the King

And now, because the King
Chose to suffer and die
We too, someday
Will have the honor, the joy
Of ascending on high
Finally able
to behold our King..

Oh, make me Thine forever
And should I fainting be
Lord, let me never ever
Outlive my love for Thee

(big angel hugs) God Bless You, dearest friend, this is the ultimate tribute from your heart to His, dearest friend, remember these words:

"Even the most humble gift, if given in love,
will be acceptable in His eyes."



(smiles) You have just given Him ever so much and He is smiling down on you and all of us, yay, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Erica, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton

But if the bright lights don't receive you
You should turn yourself around and come back home" MB20
