The Curtain Split From Top to Bottom

Jesus Christ split the temple curtain apart when he died
Now we can enter in the Holy Place where God resides
For we are now God's children belonging also to the Christ,
Because He made a Way for us, those who have been born twice.

His blood was the sacrament which Christ offered for our lives,
The only Son of God Himself, to make sure we would survive.
This loving act was done to draw us closer to the Lord;
The Father, Son and Hold Ghost, to form in us a sturdy cord.

Our bodies have been washed with water sweet and pure,
Our hearts have been sprinkled with Christ's blood for the care
Of our guilty conscience, false guilt or true,
Because the curtain split open for free access to God.

Amazing

It's amazing how the Creator
Of the entire universe
Truly wants to be our friend,
And never the reverse.

The One who placed the stars
In the sky with just a Word,
In ordered constellations,
Desires only to be heard.

Whenever we really need Him
In a personal sort of way,
We can call Him "Daddy" if we wish
When we want to talk or pray.

Our world is an amazing place,
With one amazing Father,
Who holds us all inside His hand,
And it's never been a bother.

When we misbehave or disobey,
It makes our Father very sad,
But He's seldom really truly
Gotten absolutely mad.

The reason is that love and grace
Are our Father's middle names,
Which is the very reason why
He keeps growing in His fame.

It's amazing how God cares for
All of us on earth
And those who haven't seen, but believe
Are happy He gave them rebirth.

God Divided

Have you ever wondered how our Lord
Can be the Godhead while still be one in Three?
He's the Father, but also His own Son;
And the Holy Spirit. How can this be?

Consider yourself as the child,
And yet, upon maturity,
You become a parent to another child,
And try to reach integrity.

You also become an uncle or aunt,
And a husband or a wife.
You settle down with your own mate,
To build a God-filled home for life.

Years go by, and before you know it
You're an in-law to a stranger.
Grandchildren come, and once again
Your heart's divided, fighting danger.

But every time your life's invaded,
You seem to have more love to give.
If you are growing strong in Christ;
You know that is the way to live.

Well, this is how God divides Himself,
It is not a curious mystery:
He's the Head of Three who loves us so
As revealed in Christian history.
