THE KING IN SOFT SKIN

 THE KING IN SOFT SKIN

Peace
Patience
Love
are some attributes of the King who came in soft skin.

Peace
Patience
Love
are attributes of a King who came in soft skin.

He came as a baby
He came in soft skin
Of all the places
he preferred to be placed in a manger
A King who had countless rangers
Royal rangers
Preferred to be in a manger

Miraculously hailed
from the line of David
Freely gave us his surname
No need to swear an affidavit
but boldly walk as CHRISTians
with CHRIST as part of our names

Growing up , he hadn't crossed the age 40 yet he received 40-1 lashes
for  his creature who had become faulty
40 -1 lashes for
you and I who had become faulty
but can now sit comfortably and ask for tea

Blessings upon blessings
blessed even after sins
for his blood washes our sins
 and makes us cleansed

We rise every morning
some are able to eat rice
put ice in our drinks and turn eyes in our way

Even when we do not follow the way
Go on our own way
We encounter the beast on our run way
we look to God to pull us away
and make our day

 He has made us holy and blameless in His sight
making us claim our rights
even in the night when there are no lights

Is there a greater love than this?
That he did not spare his own
He did not spare his own skin
Allowed them pierce a hole
and gave up the ghost
like how the sun goes up
for you and I

You and I who had no hope
but
even without soap
he washed our sins and gave us hope

Peace
patience
love  are attributes of the King who came in soft skin.
