The Cross of Jesus

By Crickettt  (*Revised*)

Let's take a moment to see the full picture of the crucifixion as it took place 2,000 years ago. First of all, during Jesus' ministry, He taught about a new covenant or promise made between God and mankind. The old teachings and old laws were considered the only way to get to heaven. When Jesus began to teach on receiving salvation through believing and not by works alone, the Pharisees would not accept His message and instead took it as an act of treas

You Are My Hiding Place

By-Crickettt

You are my hiding place O’ Lord my God.

When chaos surrounds me, I will trust in You.

My days have been numbered and You know each one that is set before me.

You wrote a book about me before I was created and You called me by name.

I am uniquely and wonderfully made by You.

You count all the hairs on my head and not one falls without Your knowledge.

You see the pain and sorrow I experience, but when I am weak, You make me strong.

You hear me when I cry and save all

When disappointment overwhelms me, you bring me j

A Child Is Born

By-Crickettt

One very special evening

Many years ago

A baby came to greet us

For the Angels told us so.

In a little town called Bethlehem

There they said He'd be

Lying in a manger

For all the world to see.

Among the sheep and cattle

A newborn King arrived

Dressed in shepherd's clothing

Lying by His mother's side.

Oh, what grace and wonder

The world may never know

The beauty of this baby

As told from long ago.

He came to us so innocent

And yet within Him flowed

The Spirit of His Father

Who truly l
