Savior Beat Poem Blues  

Posted by Unknown in , , , ,

This world is torn by death and sin
It's broken and wasted
Empty and hollow
Black and decayed
And it is crying out to be healed
Restored
Revived
But we are powerless to repair
The best we can manage
Are frayed patches
That hold nothing
Together

So this world is rotting
We claim so many things
While knowing
It's our fault
If we are so hopeless
Then how can we hope?

There has to be a source
Of revival
Restoration
A light in a dim dark world
That light must have its source
Apart from us
Light that created us
Creation means there's a Creator
Creator God Who shaped us
Made us
Despite knowing we would break

In this He paved the way to heal us
For He loved us so much
To die for us
Live for us so we could be
Alive
Restored
Revived
Healed

For only God can take that which is dead
And cause it to live again
Born anew
This was Jesus message
That He came
Looking like us
So that we could
Look like Him

But there is a price
For our sin is great
And deserves nothing less than
To send us to Hell
But God
Loving us
Wished that no one would die
So Jesus
Paid that price
And died for us

But that is not the end of the story
Jesus did not die
And stay dead
He gave up His life
And took it up again
So we could give up our death
And take on His life

In His life
We are new
Given healing
Revival
Redemption

Our souls cry out for a Savior
Savior Christ
Savior Jesus
Savior God

Will you answer the call?
