God looked upon His children
Another attempt at sharing the Gospel in verse
The Good News from God’s perspective
What He has done … His initiative
How He sees the world
I pray at this time when many are 'perishing' that they would turn to Jesus, the Giver of life
For God the Father so loved the world
He sent His only Son, Jesus into the world
Not to condemn the world
But to save us from sin and death
That whosoever would believe in Him
Should not perish
But have eternal life
God looked upon his children
And felt their guilt and shame
He saw them lost and hurting
Bring dishonour to his name
He witnessed their imprisonment
As consequence of sin
Felt the sting of separation
The consequence for us and Him
His heart was torn and ripped apart
As they became ensnared
The victims of rebellion
Their nakedness laid bare
He looked upon their orphan-ness
Stolen, kidnapped, trapped, alone
In Satan’s mocking grasp they stood
Their innocence now gone
And in His heart he longed for them
And wept at their demise
Set forth a plan to rescue
The apples of His eye
Thus He would make a way
For us to be redeemed
The ransom He would pay
And we would be washed clean
Yes He would bear the penalty
The judgement on our sin
Take the consequence of our weakness
Close the gap that let Satan in
Restore and put together
The things that were undone
When mankind turned away from Him
And lost their heart as sons
And in the Scripture so concise
We see what God has done in Christ
He reconciled the world back to Himself
And dealt with sin and shame
And in that reconciliation
We no longer took the blame
He did
He did it
So we could come back home
