The Last Supper

Inspired by Matthew 26:1-30; Mark 14:1-26; Luke 22:1-30

Two days before Passover
     at the Festival of Unleavened Bread
Religious leaders were worried 
     that the people may riot in dread

Jesus was a guest of Simon
     Who was a former leper
Jesus' head was poured over
     From a jar of alabaster
Some said the jar could've been sold
     And the money given to the poor
Jesus said, "This woman has come to prepare
     My body for what is in store"

Judas went to the religious leaders
     and said Jesus' head he'll deliver
The leaders agreed to the betrayal
     and paid thirty pieces of silver

The day came when 
     the Passover Lamb would be sacrificed
When Jesus and the disciples
     had to appease their appetites
Jesus foretold of a guest room
     where they would have their meal
Two disciples followed the instructions
     and found everything was ideal

Jesus told his disciples
     "My suffering will soon begin
I am about to pay the price
     for all of humanity's sin"
He took some bread and tore it
     then also poured out some wine
Gave thanks to God and said
     "Take some pieces of the Divine"

"But sitting here at this table
     sitting amongst us as a friend
Is the one who will betray me
     the one who'll be condemned

"Kings and great men
     lord it over their people
They are known as friend
     to those who see them as regal
But with you it will be different
     you will not be the greatest
You will be known as a servant
     and in that you'll be made just."

The True Enemy

Inspired by Numbers 25 & Matthew Henry's commentary While the Israelites were camped at Acacia Grove To defile themselves the men willingly chose Seduced by Moabite women and their deities Making the Lord angry and release His fury Rapport with the wicked is more harmful than enmity It is our immoral desires that is the true enemy Giving into worldly interests and its pleasures Forgetting to put the Lord at our core and center Let us execute His vengeance in zeal and faith To remain in His good graces and holy estate So God may make a special covenant of peace And His divine favor upon us may increase God punishes the wicked not with a rod But with swords exposing their profane facade Punishing those who tempt others to fail While His righteousness will always prevail

More Than Conquerers

Inspired by Matthew Henry's  commentary  on Numbers chapter 21 Before our march to the Promised Land We may find ourselves in enemy's hands But let us look thoroughly to the Lord Our only way to keep moving forward So instead of Arad, we have Hormah As the enemy's sins are enormous God will bring about their destruction His love for His children brings protection But as we continue on our journey We can be impatient and be in a hurry Then complain about the Lord's provision Bringing about the Lord's derision The serpent comes back to bite at our heels Making our grievances his meal Our very lives does he greedily steal Making us look up so we can be healed Look up and see the serpent of bronze Do not fear death that corresponds The venom may stir up our sinful passions But only the Lord can bring salvation Do not forget and always remember When God blessed us with living water Our expectations should be tempered And only rely on His Grace and His Favor Wicked men tr...
