Can You See Him? Portraits of Jesus
4/11/2010 www.WSFC.org
Pastor John Fehlen
POEM:
Here's a revelation that will tear corsets to pieces
John will illustrate some 'Portraits of Jesus'
You can break it down using numerology
That's 'Much Ado About Nothing'-theology
Eschatology, I haven't read Rev. since I was a teen
'Symbology', realize Jesus has always been seen
Similar to Magic Eye; the picture of Christ
'Can You See Him' glorified? Brighter than lights
Suffering servant, that's a familiar portrait
Nothing attractive about his poor trait
Watch blood pour straight, flowing grace
This will wash sins away, with pain replaced
As he was, now reveal who he is & will become
All sovereign. All knowing & powerful thee Son
Not a Freddy Kruger state - that might scare
This is John's dream, not an Elm Street nightmare
Fall to His feet
As though you're dead
Feel His right hand
Laid upon your head
Isaiah fifty-three
That was the past
Fear not!
He's the first and the last
The Living One
Died, now alive forever more
Of Death + Hades
He has the keys to the door
Jesus never refuted his divinity
He always was one third of the trinity
Christ is King, he's God as well
What else would he die for? Do tell
Since the dawn of man 'US' includes Him
He knows your deeds, you can't elude sin
A prelude to grim, such a great authority
Superior like white snow as it flows to the sea
Some grow to greed, pray to be slow to speak
Don't know your need? Grow and Breathe
Don't be passive, speak up and speak out
Declare MAJESTY, he has reached down
Stand at attention, prepare to respond
He will return, he'll be here, it won't be long
30 years life 3 year ministry, then atonement
Never compromised, he was always poor and homeless
Fall to His feet
As though you're dead
Feel His right hand
Laid upon your head
Isaiah fifty-three
That was the past
Fear not!
He's the first and the last
The Living One
Died, now alive forever more
Of Death + Hades
He has the keys to the door
