A Christmas Poem

A Christmas Poem, By: Ed Peck, Vinita, OK

The holiday’s upon us - With wreaths and Christmas tree
A time for friends and family - A season filled with glee
The dinner’s on the table - With our best we all are set
To celebrate with all our heart - But let us not forget
That who it is we feature - In all we say and do
It’s Jesus Christ our Savior - Who came for me and you
He left His throne in glory - And counted it but naught
And came and dwelt amongst us - He healed and He taught
He was born of lowly station - Some two thousand years now past
But He brought to us His Kingdom - Which throughout eternity will last
Now as a child, Jesus - I’m sure He had His fun
With other growing children – He would laugh and play and run
But as a child, Jesus – Into His Father grew
So at the age of twelve – they were amazed at what He knew
Jesus grew in wisdom – And stature as a man
And when His life reached thirty – He fulfilled His Father’s plan
He traveled through Judea – And in Galilee He taught
He always did His miracles – God’s Kingdom’s what He brought
He healed lame and blind – He fed the multitudes
He turned water into wine – And taught beatitudes
He was baptized in the Jordan – Where descended there the dove
And brought the law’s fulfillment – By giving Godly love
He rebuked with Godly ferver – The errors He did see
And stirred up jealous hatred – From Scribe and Pharisee
They took Him before Pilate – This king of low estate
Then unto the High Priest – To determine some cruel, cruel fate
Their anger burned against Him – They beat Him with great scorn
They hung Him on a rugged cross – and placed a crown of thorn
And there upon that cross – As He breathed His last breath
They thought with great mistake – They’d achieved His final death
But little did they know – Through scales could not see
That Jesus died upon that cross – To set the captives free
He shed His blood and took such pain – For the likes of you and me
He became the perfect sacrifice – And changed man’s destiny
They placed Him in a grave – Placed a guard there for protection
He arose and rolled the stone away – Awesome POWER OF RESSURRECTION
He’s ascended into glory – and sit’s at God’s right hand
And shares with us His glory – So in His presence stand
And realize at Christmas – It’s not for gifts or toys or tree
But the ever loving Father – Whose son has set us free
And fulfill the great command – Love God with all your all
And love your every neighbor – Whom He’s ransomed from the fall
So at the Christmas season – Then all of the year through
Give out the love that Jesus gave – To you and you and you

Creation vs Evolution

Now science is amiss
They’ve got a revolution
They deny our Great Creator
And proclaim evolution

The brilliance of our age
Is cloaked in dark demise
Denial of our God
Is not considered wise

God created from the
Wisdom of His mind
Each and every animal
After its own kind

God never ever said
As some now seem to think
That every different animal
Is from some missing link

Missing’s what it is
And missing it will be
Because it never was
There’s no link to see

Science is dogmatic
In theory they proclaim
That an accidental bang
Is from where it all has came

It’s impossible for man
Who in God does not believe
To believe in Godly power
To create what we receive

Instead in foolish wit
The limits of man’s mind
They tell us that we’re scum
The accidental kind

Well I’m pleased to state
That it is Godly plan
That foolishness from God
Is wiser than wisest man
