The Salvation Founder
Richard Newton Sherrer 1951 (Easton)
It was not to angels that God,
Subjected the world to arrive;
Rather for His Son for to laud,
Giving salvation to survive.
For of which that we are speaking,
It has been testified somewhere;
Be mindful who we are seeking,
The Son of man for us to share.
What is man that you care for him?
If made lower than the angels;
The Son of God is never grim,
Saving the Jews and Gentiles.
Crowned with both glory and honor,
Sets over the works of His hands;
Encourage you as a fawner,
And obeying of His commands.
Put everything under His feet,
Unto Him to be subjective;
Knowing that someday we will meet,
On Judgment Day in respective.
Nothing left outside His control,
Although we do not see Him yet;
We relinquish of our soul,
Confessing all that we regret.
But we see Him in a while,
Lower than angels He was made;
Suffered for Jew and Gentile,
For who have honored and obeyed.
God should taste death for every man,
That the Father has shed His grace;
That is was a part of His plan,
For giving us His sweet embrace.
For whom are and are by all things,
As the captain of salvation;
Many sons to glory it brings,
Offered as a new creation.
