This is unfortunately more than a little bit late
But I think the words carry just as much weight
So please do forgive my tardy poetic posting
I guess towards year end I started coasting
****At the start of service we did see****
****A nice carol from Charles Wesley****
****"Hark the herald angels sing****
****Glory to the newborn king****
****Peace on earth and mercy mild****
****God and sinners reconciled"****
Pastor Josh then spoke to us about faithfulness
What we celebrate about the Lord, he did stress
God honours our faithfulness with responsibility
Even if that often may take away our tranquility
Like Jesus who appeared as a babe in a manger
If we believe we are not special, we risk danger
For like Jesus whose substance outshone his form
He changed the world, introducing us to a new norm
For Paul wrote about this in First Corinthians one
We are righteous because of what Jesus has done
Per Luke two verse ten, the angels said not to fear
“Good news of great joy” were the words to hear
We all need a saviour because of our imperfection
By following Jesus we head in the right direction
From our Creator who so loves us, we have hope
God knows what is our full potential and scope
Per Colossians one, He delivered us from the dark
The contrast with the Holy Spirit is extremely stark
The Spirit gives us righteousness, peace, and joy
About substance versus form, Josh was not coy
The kingdom of God is about your soul’s health
And sharing it with others generates true wealth
We are branches from Jesus’ vine, per John fifteen
If we abide in Him, much fruit will be born and seen
Ephesians two says He makes us alive despite sin
Jesus is the spiritual air that we should breathe in
Per First Thessalonians five, pray without ceasing
With prayer, our relationship with God is increasing
Per Psalm one hundred nineteen, open our eyes
So we can see His wonders on land and in skies
God clothes us with salvation, per Isaiah sixty one
But we also need earthly community in the long run
Per Ephesians two, we are all part of His household
So we fellowship with others both young and old
