Seeing what they would not - Poem by Raymond A. Foss

Seeing what they would not
wanting to be blind
to deny the possibility
that the prophecy had been fulfilled
that the Messiah had come to earth

Seeing Christ, God, Emmanuel
living among the people
sharing the nature of the creator
the love of God for man

Acting in the countryside
walking on the water
bringing the good news of salvation
in repenting and returning to God

A ministry continuing
down to this present age
we to follow where he has led
spreading the good news of our savior
until he comes here again

Praying that when that day has come
we would see what they would not
believing the Christ when he calls us
offering him humble hearts

------
Guilty

No more false witnesses
no more false claims
Guilty as charged for speaking
for claiming to be the son of God
Blasphemy, in naming the truth
and death on the cross
as the prophets foretold
