Our Greatest Need

As we approach Christmas, I decided to share a poem and then the lyrics of a song written by a dear friend. The poem gives a profound insight into the need God met when He sent us His Son while the song captures a swift sweep of our Savior’s life from the cradle to the cross.

Our Greatest Need

If our greatest need had been information,

God would have sent us an educator.

If our greatest need had been technology,

God would have sent us a scientist.

If our greatest need had been money,

God would have sent us an economist.

If our greatest need had been pleasure,

God would have sent us an entertainer.

But our greatest need was forgiveness,

So God sent us a Savior.

-Roy Lessin

Sons To Him

In Bethlehem a child is born,

In a cradle as a Son.

The Mighty God becomes a man,

Emmanuel unfolds the plan

He was wounded for our sins,

Suffered on the cross to set us free,

Paid a perfect price for us,

It was all just to make us sons to Him.

He staggered carrying the cross,

They nailed and crucified the Lord of lords,

They thrust a spear into His side,

No one even wondered why.

Now He’s risen from the dead,

Seated up above the Lord our King,

Placed us right beside Him there,

And it was all just to make us sons to Him.

-Samuel Nwanze

Finally this week, I want you to be my guest at our Christmas Carol Service on Sunday 18^thDecember 2016 as we together worship our King.
