The Theater
This world is one big theater and so I've heard it said
With worlds outside beyond our dome to see what can be read
Of each and every character of those who walk this earth
To see how they will choose to live in life to death from birth
And as I read the scriptures I in turn believe it's true
From birth in its creation 'til Christ comes for me and you
That every word and every act reveal through what is done
If we are true and faithful to the work of God's dear Son
For as we read the scriptures we can see how goes the tale
How Lucifer once blessed of God chose pride to make him fail
And turned against the very One Who gave Him joy in life
Engendering in others thoughts that only brought them strife
As he who was created highest of the angel host
Perceived that only he should be the one we worshiped most
And sowing his deception in the apple of God's eye
He made Eve to believe that she would live and never die
If she would take the apple orange or what the fruit was then
And eat of it though God had said to eat would be a sin
For eating was denying to believe what He had said
And would at just that moment curse humanity as dead
But when they were confronted by their Maker for their deed
And asked that they might tell the truth instead they chose to heed
Their fear of Him Who only gave them love and tried to blame
Each other and the serpent who was Satan then by name
And thus began the theater for all the worlds to see
The acts of our humanity that led to Calvary
And from the resurrection to the time we live in now
Where all the universe still waits on us to see just how
We will repent of what we've done and often do today
And give our all to Jesus Christ Who is our Truth and Way
And Life to live through us as one to serve Him as we heed
The promptings of His Spirit Who will help us to succeed
In making us the heroes and the heroines of grace
Who choose to follow not the one who spit in Jesus' face
But choose to be abandoned to what God will do through us
Who choose the One Who wrote the script with unreserved trust
Genesis 1:1-2:4; 3:1-24; Hebrews 11:1-3; 32-12:2
