The Innocent

One day while reflecting on my childhood and the difficult times we had growing up I was reminded of the favor that was always apparent. He would always make a way for us to be blessed. Then my thoughts went to how he sent Jesus, just for me. When Jehovah our God, divested himself of his glory and came without fanfare or splendor to live among men. He came to show us who he was, that he was willing to deliver us himself!

And Jesus called a little child unto him, and set him in the midst of them, And said, Verily I say unto you, Except ye be converted, and become as little children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven. Whosoever therefore shall humble himself as this little child, the same is greatest in the kingdom of heaven. Matt 18:2-4

The Innocent

As a child dear Lord, So innocent in form

Born as the sun, On a clear winter’s morn

The potential to grow, And shed great light

Share with my fellow, Your grace and your might

One day, it seems, so long ago

I felt your grace, I sought to know

How you could love, A one such as I

Born in sin, And destined to die

But said you to me, My child come home

My love is yours, You are not alone

For it is mine to give, Not for what you’ve done

But what I have given, My only son

I thought on this, I pondered a while

How can this God, Show no guile

I found as the sun, Shed’s its great light

I receive from him, As any might

His love knows no bound

It is for all, I have found

In his word he makes it known

His glory flows from his throne

Great Jehovah, Spirit and Son

God Almighty, Blessed three in one
