[147]. A MESSAGE FROM A POEM – INSPIRED FROM ROMANS 1 verse 25

This poem was inspired by Romans 1:25 which I quote – {{“for they exchanged the truth of God for a lie, and worshipped and served the creature rather than THE CREATOR WHO IS BLESSED FOREVER. Amen.”}}

Worship God the Creator. Remember, that God created everything and John identifies that One as our Lord Jesus Christ – {{John 1:3 “ALL THINGS CAME INTO BEING BY HIM, and apart from Him nothing came into being that has come into being.”}}

{{Hebrews 1:2 “in these last days has spoken to us in His Son, whom He appointed heir of all things, through whom also He made the world.”}}

This is a worship poem, and if anyone is clever enough, it can be made into a song/hymn with the correct tune. I went searching for a tune with that metre and could not find any. I would be surprised if any exists.

I remember with much affection the old hymn from decades back – “Praise Him, Praise Him Jesus our blessed Redeemer.” With the destruction of these godly hymns replaced by inferior jingles, not many churches sing these any more. Praise was a vital component in the Psalms.

INSPIRED FROM ROMANS 1 verse 25

Creator who is blessed forever more,

Almighty God - The risen Lord.

Praise Him! Praise Him!

Come quickly to the God that we adore.

Pour out the thanks our hearts have stored.

Praise Him! Praise Him!

==============================

Compassion, love and mercy God has shown.

Adoring One, the Lamb who came.

Praise Him! Praise Him!

He lived on earth and died to make God known.

With glory now exalt His Name.

Praise Him! Praise Him!

==============================

Almighty God will rule in love and peace,

The King of Kings and Lord of Lords.

Praise Him! Praise Him!

His universal kingdom will not cease.

All voices rise in highest chords.

Praise Him! Praise Him!

===============================

Christ’s risen life created in His own.

To Him, praise after praise pours out.

Praise Him! Praise Him!

Triumphant song - raise higher to His throne!

“He’s worthy as the Lamb!” we shout.

Praise Him! Praise Him!

===============================
