Christ's Preparation
Sometimes we face temptations that are common unto men
And consequently end up falling in those same old sins
That capture and encumber those who have not spent their day
More focused on the Word of God than Satan's worldly way
But when we choose to ponder what our Jesus did go through
With all the preparation for that thing that He would do
Conception birth and childhood to become the perfect Lamb
It's sometimes hard to see Him as the One the great I Am
Who also made the heavens hung the planets all in space
Who spoke and in an instant everything was in its place
The first day then the second then the third fourth and the fifth
And crowned life with humanity the way He did the sixth
And then when men were evil He consumed them with a flood
The end of which was celebrated by the precious blood
That represented what would be the Price that He would pay
For those who entered in the ark and were not swept away
Then when He freed His people from the slavery of men
Who knew not of His purpose for His people way back then
He sent ten plagues on Egypt without hurting of His own
To take them to the wilderness where they might be alone
With Him to learn the lessons through His servant He would teach
That as His chosen people all the world they were to reach
With His plan of salvation through His coming Sacrifice
For which He the Almighty was to pay the greatest Price
When leaving all the mansions in His Kingdom up above
He'd step down to become like us to share His Father's love
A Sacrifice we cannot know for we have never been
One with God in divinity pure holy without sin
And when He hung upon the cross that crucifixion day
Prepared the great eternal Lamb that took our sins away
He stated, “It is finished,” for the universe to hear
To have known without question His investment here was clear
For not only did He become a man like us back then
He stills bears our humanity just without marks of sin
Just scars He'll bear forever to remind us why we live
And why we choose each day in love our all for Him to give
Deuteronomy 15:9-11; John 17:1-26
