PAD Challenge Day 12: For today's prompt, write a future poem.
Heb.12:2
Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith;
who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross,
despising the shame, and is set down
at the right hand of the throne of God.
Luke 2:10
And the angel said unto them, Fear not:
for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy,
which shall be to all people.
A hymn of great joy!
What lies behind we cannot change
What looms ahead we cannot see
Today, the day the Lord has made
Brims with redemption's majesty
Good tidings of great joy still ring
As we press on to life's reward
Anchored in mercy's offering
A Saviour, who is Christ the Lord
The message that the angels bore
Still peals with hope's favor and grace
Concealed in joy still set before
When we behold Him face to face
The evidence of things unseen
Is worth the fight that faith employs
As we endure what lies between
Each step we take to Heaven's joys
Fear not, for unto us this day
Glad tidings of great joy resound
Nothing can take our hope away
As we traverse time's holy ground
A Saviour, who is Christ the Lord
Has borne our sorrow and our grief
He suffered what none could afford
The punishment that brought us peace
For the joy set before Him He
Endured the cross, despised its shame
Seeing beyond the agony
To all who would call on His Name
Made perfect through His suffering
Where we esteemed Him stricken, He
Salvation's captain, crushed the sting
Of death, robbed graves of victory
The message that the angels told
In days of old, none can destroy
The anchor of the cross will hold
Till hope is crowned with Heaven's joy
Janet Martin
For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness;
but unto us which are saved it is the power of God.
