COVER TO COVER II
Among my most meaningful things to do
while reading the Holy Scriptures through
is
write Messiah's Name in the margin
of
the Old Testament, where'er I find Him.
Of
course, I do not find Jesus' Name,
but I certainly find Him, just the same.
I
find Him in the Lamb and the Lion,
foreshadows
of the Temple in Zion,
find Him in Joshua, David, Passover,
in
the Song, the whale, cover to cover.
I've thumbed through pages and jotted a few
Messianic treasures to share with you:
Messiah's birth’s foretold in Micah, five;
seven centuries later, Jesus arrived;
virgin birth proclaimed, Isaiah seven,
a
Son to be fathered by God in Heaven.
Kings would bow down to Him and nations serve,
Solomon's Psalm Seventy-two observed.
He'd be pierced and mourned, said Zechariah;
Our Redeemer, fifty-three, Isaiah,
who prophesied resurrection glory!
Genesis to Revelation, God's true story!
The Word reveals a magnificent plan
in
this tome of Our Savior, God and Man.
The year Twenty Fourteen is almost here—
I’ll suggest a resolution without peer:
Resolve to read before this year’s over,
the
Holy Bible, cover to cover.
It
contains everything you need to know
about Love, Salvation and How to Grow.
You’ll learn God’s story beginning to
end
all about your Sovereign and closest
Friend!
