THE KING OF KINGS

by Lewis E. Thomas  
10/17/2012 / Poetry

One day a King left His Throne
And came to Earth to die.
It was the only way to save
The likes of you and I!

This King had created us all
And placed us on Earth below
But though His hand had made us
This King we did not know.

He designed us to live forever
We were never meant to die.
But Death placed its hand upon us
When Eve gave in to Satan's lie.

Death had us in its grip
And it covered us like a flood
Until King Jesus stepped down from Heaven
And shed His precious blood.

Upon a cruel rugged cross
This King bled and died
As He took our place at Calvary
Where He was crucified.

Only the innocent blood of Christ
Could atone for the sin of all
And break the grip of Death
That came through Adam's fall.

All that love this King
Have been lifted from sin's flood
For they have been born again
And are now of Royal Blood!

How could anyone not love
Such a King as He?
Who left His Throne in Glory
To come and set us free.
