Face to Face #275



Face to Face

Why don't they know you, Father God,
As one who came to earth?
Why must they view a fake facade
As one who had no birth?
I know you're understanding, God,
because as man you came
to live and die as one of us
and breathe as us the same.
I know it's not cross cultural
to know you, God, by name,
so if I'm wrong for sharing this,
forgive me -- I'm to blame!
But known are you as Jesus Christ,
though sorry to offend,
for this is how you are to me,
you're Savior and you're Friend.
How can they say they love you, God,
if they refuse your Son?
And don't they know the whole of you
in Christ is found as One?
I'm sorry -- I can't speak of God
as if he's lost in space
for God to me is where we are
and known here Face to Face.

God bless,
Lighthouse Bob
