Craig Smith Chosen to serve as the sacrifice lamb The binder of all the earths wounds Called the Deliverer, Chief Cornerstone Slain and then buried, but He rose from the tomb Chorus He is the Ancient of days Giver of freedom with the price that He paid He is the Ancient of days Exposing the enemy's great masquerade Giver of life, His is the Ancient of days Courageous Redeemer, who's life giving blood Is the ransom for wayward man's soul Covenant Messenger, Heir of all things The Shepherd and Guardian, Guardian of souls Chorus Warrior of holiness, Messiah and King Ruler of Israel, Salvation's great Captain Hope for all man One day every tongue will say the Lord is He Chorus "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God. All things came into being by Him, and apart from Him nothing came into being that has come into being. In Him was life and the life was the light of men. The light shines in the darkness and the darkness did not overpower it." John 1:1-5 "...conduct yourselves in fear during the time of your stay upon the earth knowing that you were not ransomed with perishable things like silver or gold from your futile way of life inherited from your forefathers, but with the precious blood, as of a lamb unblemished and spotless, the blood of Christ." I Peter 1:17-19 It's an awesome thought to realize that Jesus, the man born of a virgin and laid in a hay stable, created the universe with God the Father. They spoke a word and the stars and planets were flung into existence. They spoke another word and living creatures were formed, and yet another word and man's flesh was formed. They used their very breath and breathed life into the nostrils of this man they had created. They gave this man the ability to decide, a choice to obey his Creator or to disobey Him. He disobeyed. God, the Ancient of Days, loved this man so much, He gave His only Son, His co-creator, to be born in a manger, then be put to death by this man. God's Son, His Lamb, was the ransom for this man.--Bill Stuckey
