A Simple Message

 

 

Nothing's complicated about the cross,
And God's redemption plan;
The message is so pure and simple
Even a child can understand.
It doesn't take a learned theologian,
An intellectual, or a degree,
To comprehend what took place
On that old rugged tree;
For the Truth is not a complex one,
As to some it doth appear,
It's not entangled or confused,
But, direct and very clear.
God gave His only begotten Son
To pardon and set free,
And each precious drop of blood
Was shed for you and me.
It doesn't take a bible scholar
To explain conviction;
A soul brought low by sin and guilt
Experiences the affliction.
As God forgives, revealing Christ,
Making the sinner whole,
That new and glorious life imparted
Is felt within the soul.
But, to all who reject and believe not,
This Truth is concealed,
Such as with those who questioned
The blind man healed;
Miraculously touched, he understood,
For his spirit was set free,
And the answer he gave was simple:
"I once was blind, but now I see."
It's A Simple Message

 

"But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost:
In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds
of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious
gospel of Christ, who is the image of God,
should shine unto them." (II Cor. 4:3-4)
