"The Man in the Middle"

THE MAN in the  MIDDLE

Jesus Christ: He was God; He was flesh; and He was the

Holy One, crucified for all mankind

He was nailed to a splintered cross between two thieves; one

saw the light, and He was no more blind

The road to the cross was paved with His passion to make

all men holy, and revere the sacred temple

But, Jesus was met with opposition; it was a battle for their

souls, an endeavor not so simple

His prayers preceded His mission, a plan that would

rip His flesh, and spill His precious blood

For He came to die; this sinless God would bear the

world's sins; and His tears fell like a flood

He was beaten and torn; He bled to complete the

sacrifice, and to redeem all people

It was the crucifixion to be finished for His lost

creation; and there will be no sequel

Willingly He gave His all for the dust He formed into

life, and had gone so far astray

Sin took its toll, and now, it was the final solution, so with

His body and His blood He paid

When death came and He said, "It is Finished;" He was

laid in a borrowed tomb, for a full three days

But, as He said, the morning came; His garment was folded,

and behold, the stone was rolled away

The tomb was empty; Jesus Christ was risen, and it was

the dawning of power and glory

Our Savior is ALIVE; and today we worship Him in honor,

and proclaim this is more than a story

The Lord Jesus Christ conquered death, Hell, and the

grave, a fete not at all little

But, what do we expect from Almighty God, Jesus Christ,

our Lord, "The Man in the Middle."
