'The Dead Shall Walk And Talk' (May 24, 2012)

By Allan Thomasson

I write for God of the things He's said

Within His holy word.                                       II Timothy 3:16-17
And I mean well, to write to all
Who've trusted in the Lord,

And those who haven't trusted yet,

In Christ, the Mighty God,
So they will know God loves them all,
As they walk upon His sod,                               Romans 5:8

Which God created just for man,

God's family to be.
And I do know that all of us
May not His children be.

Defensive, we, when we hear that He

Will save us from our sin.
For we are well accustomed to
The way we've always been,                              

We made our choices in our lives,

For pleasure, and for fun.
We all have claimed that the way we live
Is not hurting anyone.

But sin, it is a spiritual thing,

And righteousness also.
And sin is simply not a part
Of God's plan, for we know

That sin will take a man to hell.
It crucified our Lord,                                         Isaiah 53:5-6
Who, in God's name, from heaven came,
And gave us God's own word.

There's no debate. God's word is straight.

Hard for man to receive.
But in God's loving words He says,
We must, the Lord, believe.                               John 3:16

For in God's view, He'll build for you

New heaven, and new earth,                              Revelation 21:1-7
With no more crying, no more shame.
To give this life, 'tis worth,

To live as God has made us to,

And not just 'talk the talk'!
When we believe in Christ, our Lord,
'The 'Dead' Shall Walk AND Talk'.                   Ephesians 2:1, 8-10

And once, I 'talked the talk' also,

Until I met the Man,
The Son of God Who walked the earth,
To save all those He can.

His 'walk' took Him to Calvary,

And there, He gave His life,
To save us from an eternal 'fate',
Eternity of strife,

For all the wicked there shall go,

For they did not believe,
And He sent us to tell the truth,
So Him you might receive.

He gave His life, that you might live

In eternal destiny,
Where only righteousness prevails
In that eternity.

So tell your flesh you'll start afresh,

And you're now in control,
Because you do believe in Christ,
And He has saved your soul.
