JESUS IS THE ANSWER TO MAN’S CRY
Composed on 22nd September 1997. Hong Kong
Sin is not just an act but an evil spirit.
Sin's wages not just a physical death but hell .
Mankind without an exception became Sins’ slaves
Which brought the life long bondage and eternal pain .
Jesus, the God's Representative to mankind
And man's Representative before Holy God
Paid the price of sin for men as man's Substitute .
We are now justified; We are declared holy.
So all good things both temporal and eternal
We can claim and own in Jesus Christ, the God-Man.
We can have life, and enjoy it bountifully
Because Christ now lives in us and we live in Him.
Health and Strength, Power and Freedom, Plenty and. Joy ,
Jesus Christ, our Substitute has redeemed for us .
Praise the Lord, No more sickness and no more weakness!
Health and strength, power and freedom are gifts for us.
Riches and life-security we can enjoy .
God created them and Christ redeemed them for us.
When His children enjoy their birth-right in Jesus
It brings glory and honor to God Almighty.
Success, achievement and authority are ours.
Christ our Substitute defeated our enemy
By stripping Satan of all his authority .
We claim our success with authority in Christ.
Love, peace, joy, tranquility and pleasure are ours.
By God's infinite love it was manifested
And exhibited to the world through Jesus Christ .
Jesus, yes, Jesus is the answer to man’s cry.
ETERNITY
Composed on 23rd September 1997. HONG KONG
GOD, You're the Eternity in the beginning.
How long was its span no finite being comprehends.
But Yours the glory and honor and majesty.
This is indeed the wonder of wonders of all.
In a point of time in endless eternity
The earth was created with the fullness of it.
How and with what created them no finite being knows.
We just stand in awe and wonder at Your creation.
This span in eternity called time and space:
Time of creation, progression, culmination .
The Son of God Jesus Christ visited this earth.
For the world He laid down His life in time and space .
By the sacrifice of Jesus the Son of God
The sinners in this earth were redeemed once for all .
This earth He chose to be the seat of His kingdom .
He will reign here one thousand years in time and space.
After time and space age there will be no more time.
The old world and the old heaven be passed away.
The new heaven and new earth be in their places.
That will be the beginning of eternity.
All the redeemed of the Lord will be with the Lord.
They shall behold the face of God and their Savior.
Then they will know what is life and what is glory.
It will be but the first hour in eternity.
WORSHIP THE KING AND THE LAMB
Composed on 25th September 1997. Hong Kong
The King seated on the rainbow encircled throne
Which appears as jasper, sardius and emerald .
The twenty four elders too seated 'round the King
Clothed in white robes with the crown of gold on their heads.
The crystal sea of glass was before the King's throne
And in the midst and around the throne of glory
Were the four living creatures who worshipped the King .
They represent all creatures, men and all others .
Day and night, without a cease, they worship saying :
"Holy, Holy, Holy, Lord God, the Almighty,
Who was and is, and is to come", the King of kings.
Should we worship the King less Who deserves Worship?
The twenty four elders also falling prostrate
Cast their crowns upon the King of kings on His throne
And worship Him saying, "You are worthy, O Lord,
To receive all glory and honor and power"
The four living creatures and twenty four elders
Fall prostrate before the Lamb and they worship Him:
"You have redeemed us to God by Your precious blood
And made us unto God kings and priests forever".
The innumerable holy angels of God
Worship the Lamb, "Worthy is the Lamb Who was slain ;
Power, riches, wisdom, strength, honor, glory, blessings
All belongs to the Lamb forever and ever".
All creatures which are in heaven and on the earth
The visible and the invisible praise God :
“Blessing, honor, glory, power be unto Him
Who sits on the throne and unto the Lamb of God”.
Around the throne were the elders and all angels
And the living creatures, falling on their faces .
They worship God and the Lamb Who sit on the throne
Ascribing all blessings and honor forever .
Heav'n is the place of worship and adoration.
Men were redeemed to worship the King and the Lamb.
Less shall we praise and worship the King and the Lamb?
Blessed is he who praises and worships the Lord.
