A Christmas Poem

[Christsfreeservant]

An Original Work / December 25, 2020

You say that Christmas is about Jesus,
The One who died on the cross to free us.
You say that His birth you must celebrate –
It must be celebrated on this date.

But who foretold of this, it would come true?
Who said that Jesus’ birth we must renew?
Who said that Christmas is the day to be
Thinking of Jesus as a small baby?

Where in the word of God is this mandate?
Where are we told to worship on this date?
Where did the prophets tell this would occur –
This worship of Christmas, to you allure?

What does the word of God require of you?
To your Lord Jesus, let your hearts be true.
Give of your life to God, on His altar.
In faithfulness to Him, do not falter.

Walk in much fellowship with Him each day.
Bow on your knees to Him, and daily pray.
Forsake your sins and do what Jesus says.
Live your life for Him, let Him be your stead.

Seek Him with all your heart, oh every day.
Submit to Him as Lord, without delay.
Inquire of Him, to what He has you do.
Walk with Him faithfully, to Him be true.

Once I fell in love and wrote a beautiful poem in Dutch for a beautiful girl. It consisted of 5 quatrains. So afterwards I thought: if I wrote it for a girl whom I loved very much, why not writing a poem directly for God, whom I must love above everything else and in the first place?! Thank God, today it is done. And this is also through God's inspiration, having even 12 quatrains.

For the Holy Trinity

Life is buried in the tomb,
And risen up again in glory,
To grant His Life to humankind,
To snatch from hell the fallen Adam.

The Son of God and Son of Man,
Betrayed for 30 silver coins,
He humbly stood before the evil judge,
To pay the prize of sins that we committed.

He took our sentence in our stead,
Enduring all the pain, our shame, humiliation.
Being lifted high upon the Cross,
He shed His blood as Lamb of God.

You took our sins upon Yourself,
And going down into hell, You freed the captives.
Your lifeless body, buried in the tomb, was resting on the Sabbath day,
Awaiting Resurrection Day, Your splendid victory of fame.

You were triumphant over death; it was predicted by the prophets.
Condemned is satan by Your death, and death is trampled by the death,
Cause You are only Sinless One, so devil couldn't catch You,
Your life will reign for evermore, cause You are Judah's Lion.

On Judgement Day we shall arise,
Like You arose before us,
Ascending high above the sky,
You are the Universal King along with God the Father.

With God the Father, God the Holy Ghost,
You are the God eternal.
And Judge of living and the dead,
Your second coming is at hand.

On Pentecost You sent Your grace of Holy Ghost,
You built Your Church on You as cornerstone,
You took our human flesh and blood through Virgin Mary,
And was conceived by Holy Ghost, while still remaining God forever.

Your precious Body, holy Blood,
You gave for us as bread of life,
Imparting life divine and everlasting,
For the forgiveness of our debt, to make us sons of God of Heaven.

You wash our sins away from us in holy waters of Your baptism,
When we sincerely convert to You, renouncing devil, all his pride,
Along with worldly passions,
Repenting of our formal sins, confessing them aloud.

You give Your grace of Holy Ghost, proceeding from the Father,
As earnest of the inheritance above, until salvation is accomplished.
Like with apostles long before, You are with us forever,
Performing miracles and signs, expelling evil spirits.

We magnify and thank You, Jesus, Lord of hosts,
And hymn and praise Your Holy Ghost,
Exalt and worship God the Father,
For who You are and what we are in You, for what You do for us, both now and forever.

Let all the people say 'amen', so be it, halleluYah!

Ups, I am sorry, I thought that the thread was called "Christian poem," but now I see that it is called "Christmas poem." May be moderator can split my post with my poem to make it a special thread called "Christian poems." I am sorry for my lack of attentiveness.

Daniel, it is okay. Honest mistake. Why don't you try contacting the moderators to let them know you want your poem moved? Or you can start another thread yourself called "Christian poems." I don't know if CF has a section for poetry, but I write devotions in the form of poetry sometimes and so my poems are included here. Sue Love
