Thou Art the Man!

Use the “Play” ► button above to listen to the poem:
Quietly yet the Master comes,
And into our presence He steals,
Again and again we’ve ignored His Word,
And ignored the hurt that He feels.
Like David of old, we’ve broken his heart.
Yet still He’s standing by
In love to echo, “I forgive
Thou shalt not surely die.”
But we like blinded fools refuse
To hear the Master’s call,
And so enmeshed in sin are we,
We hear no voice at all.
But so creative is our Lord
That He will find a way.
He’ll stand before us somehow
And in that precious day,
He will but look into our eyes,
As only Jesus can,
And filled with His arresting love,
He’ll say, “Thou art the man”.
That’s all He’ll do; and then He’ll wait,
The next move will be ours,
And what may be but seconds
Will seem like hours and hours.
As our lives hang in the balance
Our whole future in God’s plan.
Resting on our answer when He says,
“Behold, Thou art the man!”
We know what He is after,
We have seen it in His Word.
He simply wants to hear us say,
“I’ve sinned against the LORD.”
Oh, what blessed sweet acceptance,
As He sweeps away our sin,
And in perfect love rejoices,
“My child is home again!”
