Rejection of Christ
Richard Newton Sherrer 1951 (Easton)
I am speaking the truth in Christ,
No lying that my conscience bears;
The Holy Spirit has enticed,
A proclamation that one shares.
For a feeling of great sorrow,
Unceasing anguish in my heart;
That I could wish for tomorrow,
Christ is not accursed to depart.
Not to be cut off for the sake,
Of my brothers from Jesus Christ;
That my kinsmen do not forsake,
Acceptance that was sacrificed.
You belong to the adoption,
The glory and the promise;
To the service of the option,
Giving the Law to serve justice.
To them belong the patriarchs,
According to the flesh in Christ;
No matter where someone embarks,
Who in God overall enticed.
