"Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith;
who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising
the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God."
(Hebrews 12:2 KJV)
There He was, from the very beginning
He was there in the midst of all turmoil and strife,
There through the persecutions, and executions,
Of all who dared to believe and express their faith
In the Father and Son, whose Spirit He left
To guide, comfort, console, reach and teach,
Those of us who understand,
He's 100% God and 100% man.
There from the Beginning and will be to the end,
The author and finisher of our faith--
To Whom we look, expecting great things,
Knowing, who He loves, His blessings will shower,
And by His Spirit, we are filled with His Power,
To do--what is right at all times, no excuses we make,
For our sins, He came and hung on the cross,
Having done nothing wrong, never making a mistake,
But loved us enough to sacrifice Himself so we might
Know the thrill of victory in our every day lives,
How to keep the devil under our feet, defeated
Nullifying all of his plans, making sure we survive,
To teach our children to whom to look for all things
Perfect, mighty, and right, to do all things well in His sight,
So, they too will have a life in heaven for all eternity.
Looking to Him alone, for there is no one else,
Who can do what He has done, is doing, and will do,
For all who love and obey Him, day and night,
Knowing He sees it all and there is no one else,
No other name by which man can be saved, Jesus!
