“Behold, The Lamb of God is passing by.”
“Follow Him, ” was John the Baptist’s cry.
For He’ll take away all of this world’s sin
and open heaven’s door to let us in.
...
Oh sweet, sweet Rose of Sharon.
God's wonderful Beloved Son.
Such beauty and love unfurled
when You blossomed in our world.
...
Hope that's a certainty
Hope steadfast and sure
Hope for eternity
Hope that will endure
...
The light of the knowledge of the glory of God
can be seen in the face of Jesus Christ my Lord.
The exact representation of His being
is shown when The Spirit enlightens our seeing.
...
'I am the Living Bread.'
'Eat of me and live', He said
'Manna from heaven on high
only Christ can fully satisfy.'
...
The ninety and nine in the fold safely lay
But this one sheep had foolishly gone astray
And as he lay bleating all lost and afraid
The Good Shepherd heard his cry and came to his aid
...
Eternal Life. Death has no hold on You
for a sinless life You lived Faithful and True.
When time shall cease and worlds no longer be
You shall live on throughout eternity.
...
In the beginning was the Word.
Before the dawn of time He stood.
Spoke creations word 'Let there be'
beginning this worlds destiny.
...
Faithful One unchanging in all Your ways
Living God and The Ancient of Days.
Keeper of Covenants, merciful to all
that obey Your commands and hear Your call.
...
I was intricately woven upon His heavenly loom
As He carefully knit me together in my mothers womb
In that most secret of places where my conception took place
Ready at the time of my birth to enter the human race
...
The vastness of the universe is held within His hands
and time throughout eternity keeps all of His commands.
Omnipotent in His power and wonderful in His ways
He's the Lord God Almighty, the Ancient of all Days.
...
'I'll pass over you when I see the blood'
This was the wonderful promise of God
The blood has been shed and the price is paid
The Passover Lamb on the alter laid.
...
Mighty God Whom heavenly angels worship
may this mere mortal sing out Your praise?
For All glorious God You are worth it.
Sing out my soul and His anthem raise!
...
No more a destitute orphan am I to be
for the Father of the Fatherless has fathered me.
and I've been born again into God's family
because Jesus laid down His life and saved me
...
Rejected of men for being too good
we crucified You on a cross of wood
But Your Father had other plans for You
for the temple was to be built anew
...
The last eternal chapter has been written
telling of how The Lamb of God was smitten.
This great story of salvation I will tell
of the Saviour who has saved my soul from hell.
...
Angels are servants the bidding of God they do
But the fullness of the Godhead was dwelling in You
The very Presence of God came to us on earth
when You entered into this would through virgin birth.
...
Enthroned upon high as Sovereign Lord
mighty angels and men obey His word
prostrate before His throne they bend
for His eternal kingdom will never end.
...
The Glory of Your people Israel
came to us as The Lord Immanuel.
Light and revelation to all You bring
and of Your salvation the Gentiles sing.
...
Lead me Lord along this earthly path of mine
through those meadows where the sun does shine,
beside the serene and peaceful waters.
Lead me Lord through those green pastures
...
The entries I have made are more in the form of meditations than pure poetry. Other poems have been entered under the name of Royston Allen The Bible calls Jesus by many names each one giving a glimpse of His glory. Like a cut diamond radiating in the sun with every facet depicting an aspect of His Divine Nature. The poems on this part of the site will be on the 'Names and titles of Jesus'. All other poems will be gradually transfered and listed under my other Poetic name of 'Royston' Roy)
Today... 'The Lamb Of God'
“Behold, The Lamb of God is passing by.”
“Follow Him, ” was John the Baptist’s cry.
For He’ll take away all of this world’s sin
and open heaven’s door to let us in.
As a lamb to the slaughter He was led
pouring out His precious blood so red.
For only He could pay that awful price
and atone for sin by His sacrifice.
Stricken and smitten of His God was He
for my transgressions and iniquity.
There lash by lash my penalty He paid
when upon the alter the Lamb was laid.
Before heaven’s throne the Lamb of God stands
the wounds of the cross in His feet and hands.
There He intercedes and He pleads for me
This Lamb of God Who died to set me free
