[238]. A Message From A Poem – See Him Now
Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Dec 17, 2025 (message contributor)
[238]. A MESSAGE FROM A POEM – SEE HIM NOW
This is a simple poem. It covers salvation and service.
When Jesus was here people saw Him and heard Him as He spoke the eternal message but eyes were closed and ears were shut. The response to Jesus was the same response to Stephen – {{Acts 7:51 “You men who are stiff-necked and uncircumcised in heart AND EARS are always resisting the Holy Spirit. You are doing just as your fathers did.”}}
{{Acts 7:57 “but they cried out with a loud voice, and COVERED THEIR EARS, and they rushed upon him with one impulse,”}}
Those who seek the Lord will find because God is not going to put obstacles in the way of one who desires to come to Him. {{John 5:24 “Truly, truly, I say to you, HE WHO HEARS MY WORD and believes Him who sent Me, has eternal life and does not come into judgment, but has passed out of death into life.”}}
The poem features 5 words – SEE, HEAR, TAKE, PRAISE, SERVE. These form the stanzas.
================================================================
SEE HIM NOW
See Him. See now.
See Him die for sin.
See Him take your place in death.
Your salvation He did win.
==================
Hear Him. Hear now.
Hear Him calling you.
Hear Him pleading for your life.
He will cleanse your life anew.
==================
Take Him. Take now.
Take Him as your Lord.
Take Him with repentant heart.
Love so great can’t be ignored.
==================
Praise Him. Praise now.
Praise Him evermore.
Praise the Lord, Creator God.
He’s the One that you adore.
==================
Serve Him. Serve now.
Serve Him with your life.
Serve Him, for your life is His.
Time and love lay at His feet.
==================
