Shadows Of My Heart (poetry from the soul; for the soul)

Pass it on

Misery likes company,

So Satan had a plan,

To add to his team; the first Human

To him it was a relay race

Seeds of doubt, pride and grief all part of his baton.

Ready to pass it on.

Believing for a moment that he had won.

Adam lived in Eden

But only for a season

He communed with God

Until sin entered his life

For which he blamed Eve; his wife

Death seeming the ultimate price.

This he passed on to every generation

The struggle between right and wrong became our daily decision

But God was Beforehand on a mission

To let Jesus leave the glory of heaven

To walk on an Earth that was no longer perfect Eden

Suffering all temptations known to man

Yet He kept every command

He is the lamb

He is the second Adam

Slain from the foundations of the world

He paid the ultimate price

He won back our lives

He overcame death

He nullified Satan's threats.

To us he passes on the power to overcome

To us he gives grace, mercy, love,talents,life.

To us he gives The gospel.

Will we keep it to ourselves?

Or will we follow the great commission

This our burning mission.

To pass it on

Let's pass it on!
