God’s Face

Categories: Jesus

Jesus originally had the face of his Father
Holy, perfect and full of love
But when he left and came down to earth
He left that face in Heaven above.

He started life on earth in a stable
Was born with a baby face
His Father had very special plans for Him
To demonstrate His amazing grace.

As He grew from childhood to manhood
He looked out from His face with concern
Touched and healed many; taught God’s ways
All those who heard were able to learn.

After three years of living a serving life
The religious had Him crucified
And the loving face of God that day
Was disfigured and dehumanised.

God did not leave His Son dead in the grave
But raised Him up, and now by God’s grace
Because Jesus paid for my sin on the cross
I can speak to God face to face.
