He is not a baby in a manger
waiting to be fed.
He is not a martyr on a cross,
our Savior is not dead.
For if we leave Him in the manger
what power does he wield?
If we leave Him on the cross
how is our hope fulfilled?
It is only by seeing the Risen King
and His resurrection power
that we can share in the hope to come
that in that final hour
when the trumpet blows and dead shall rise
we will be in that great throng
and we will kneel before our Lord and King
as He assumes His throne.
Your faith shines through in this wonderful poem.
God Bless you!
