The Perfect Example

Never has there been such a plain and simple man
From His birth in a manger to the grave He was buried in.
He was a carpenter by trade, but a home for Himself, He never made.
He healed the sick and fed the poor even when He was tired and sore.
People mocked and made fun of Him and still
He died on the cross for each and every one of them.
He set an example through His own sacrifice
of how we should live a true Christian life
so when life gets rough and the waters won’t be stilled
remember Jesus once stood on that same hill.
He has known every temptation common to man
and won every battle the same as you and I can
So stay faithful to God, let Him lead you along the way.
Stay buried in His word and don’t forget to pray.
Remember, everything that happens here on this earth
is a direct result of Jesus birth.
For the Bible states: and we know all things work together
for good to them that love the Lord.
To those who are called to carry His sword.
Grave where is thy victory,
Death where is thy sting?
Jesus has risen, praise Him and sing.
